Thanks for that input Jamie. I need some input from others on whether
IAText2 and IAHypertext2 should inherit from their prior versions.
IAHypertext adds the hyperlinks (plural) method. IAText2 adds the
attributeRange method.
Same question re IA2_2 and whether it should inherit from IA2. There
are 3 new methods: attribute (by type), accessibleWithCaret, and
relationTargetsOfType.
