[Accessibility_sig] Is DOJO accessible?

[Moore, Michael]

Of course ARIA is not supported by any of the major screen readers
(JAWS, Window Eyes, HAL at this time) As far as I know support is
limited to FireVox.

I've been involved (albeit on the periphery) of the dojo toolkit's
a11y/widget implemention. The demos on the website havent yet had final
polish for a11y, but they will. The toolkit and the widgets those demos
are built on are seeing a lot of a11y work - chiefly to the ARIA spec,
but also for general keyboard accessibility and support for
high-contrast mode. a11y is promised in full for version 1.0 (including
all public demos) so anything you see broken now is a bug we'd like to
know about (if we dont already). 1.0 is due sometime next month. I'd be
happy to any comments to the core team, or you can report them on the
support forums:

http://dojotoolkit.org/forums/forums/developer-forums/dijit-development

or even enter the bugs (+description, steps to reproduce etc) yourself
