Not a technical question...
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
chicken/egg situation?

We are integrating more and more of the Accessibility API into
iListen (speech recognition - dictation and command & control). We
check for use of Acc. API by applications and add more functionality
if present.
One thing you need to implement are Text and Text selection objects
for the text in your windows. This does not appear to be done by the
OS, but requires that the application do the work. TextEdit does have
a Text Selection object in its windows, but I have not encountered it
in other applications. I think that the Text and Text Selection
objects are really required for Acc. API clients (such as Screen
Readers and speech recognition programs) to know about the text in
your windows.
