This problem does not occur with AppleShare File Servers, although obviously
kAXDocumentAttribute fails silently.
So to re-iterate the problem situation:
Any Carbon application (I have tried many) which has a window open for a
file on an iDisk (or presumably any WebDav server) where that server has
been unmounted will cause the 'WebDAV File System Authentication' dialog to
appear when asking for kAXDocumentAttribute. I will submit this to RADAR.
