I think you need to do your own engineering as far as how you would implement it for IAcc2 yes?

I'm paranoid when it comes to licensing issues, no matter who the IP owner is, and rather than trying to work through any issues related to the licensing of the IAEx spec, I think all the concerns would be eliminated if Microsoft would submit the IA2 equivalent. Could Larry provide that?

I've been traveling a lot lately. I added the IAccessibleEx spec as an attachment to the bug. Thanks!

If someone from Microsoft created the interface and attached it to bug 114 at http://bugs.freestandards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114 then it would be clear that the content was directly from and approved by Microsoft and thus it would be clear that the content was not in violation of any Microsoft licenses, copyrights, or promises. Since the current set of IAccessible2 interfaces are already in use in several implementations the two methods would have to be in a new interface. I'll be happy to review the submission so we can come to consensus on the naming, documentation, etc. We can have that interchange inside of bug 114 and that way it will be fully in the open and the process will be easily reviewable.

How is that coming? I've been monitoring the A11Y information, but I haven't seen a discussion on it. Norm
