I have noticed that when speaking of accessibility you and most others seem primarily concerned with speech. Since I am primarily a braille user does voice enabling include braille. They are not the same thing as while I want to know what has changed I may not want to be put on a button just because it has become active and may not even care that it is active at that point. In fact I find it aggravating when I am all of a sudden moved from what I am doing to a status bar because something has changed and I have to wait for something to time out or I have to take an action to get back where I was. That aside I certainly agree with making things more accessible.
It is a really interesting approach. Charles, I'd love to hear more about what you think are the strengths or weaknesses. Have you run into any snags?
I'm so pleased for you that you were able to open source this.
(Perhaps of interest to you, I had some half baked thoughts about a similar approach (injecting accessibility) a couple of weeks ago but it dropped off my radar.)
