Suppose I do the work to make an app accessible, are there any apps
which will make use of the accessibility? Or are we still in a

Since you titled your message "Screen readers", I'll point out that
Jaguar includes a screen reader. In System Preferences, go to the
Speech panel. Click on the Spoken UI tab, then "Text under the mouse",
and the Speech system will use Accessibility to read text under the
mouse.

Ideally, though, all you have to do is make your application in Cocoa

Carbon Events (**ahem**) and your application should be accessible for
all
of Apple's standard GUI elements.
Actually, you don't even have to use Carbon events. You can be entirely
WNE-based and not use any Carbon event handlers at all. You just need
to use the standard HIToolbox controls, which have accessibility
support built-in (mostly; we're fixing the ones that don't). If you
implement your own controls, _then_ you need to use Carbon events to
add accessibility for those controls.
