Test if the value attribute is settable.
This isn't specific to text or the value attribute. Settability is
your clue as to whether or not the user can modify any attribute.
If you find attributes that report themselves as settable that
shouldn't (or vice versa), file bugs.

I noticed that, for example, iChat uses an AXTextArea for the chat
transcript (the balloons), which obviously is not for typing into,
but only for reading and selecting. Other AXTextAreas, such as the
TextEdit document typing area, allow reading, writing and
selecting. Is there a way to distinguish between these different
kinds of uses (on 10.3.x and 10.4.x), namely AXTextAreas that are
not intended for typing into and those that are? I need this info
for offering better accessibility.
Thanks,
david.
