I was also surprised by the apparent rush to release JFW 3.3. I would
better understand if HJ was trying to meet a deadline of a summer
convention, CTG, or CSUN. Perhaps there is some other major event or or
bidding deadline we haven't considered.
I'm particularly surprised that HJ did not provide some Window
Bridge/Window-Eyes/MSAA functionality with IE5, including the ability to
do a continuous read on a web page.
