[Accessibility_sig] Is DOJO accessible?

[Jim Allan]

I believe that WAI-ARIA in addition to FireVox is working with Window Eyes.
WinEyes has been working closely with the Accessibility team at
Firefox/Mozilla. FireVox is able to make changes more quickly and is
functioning as a testbed.

there is a mozilla accessibility page about ARIA at
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessible_DHTML
