Hello Ray,
We started discussing Accessibility (we've been working on
accessibility for more than 5 years now) with Mike (and also Anjo) at
the show and we're are pretty confident it's not going to be that
hard to make most of the ajax wonder stuff accessible (at least the
part that have a "regular" HTML counter part)...We'll we are only
going to make the recommendation and test case obviously, Mike is
going to handle all the coding part;)
We'll try to get most of the recommendation done before mid july.
This also rise the accessibility of the technology the WO Team showed
us, but it's not going to be as easy and simple, but let's start with
Wonder:)

I have read this and I think it might be of more general interest
in the wider web community. It is a bit academic, but is not too
long. It is only 8 pages.
It describes the challenges of accessibility in Ajax-ified web
pages. Web pages are no longer linear and static and this provides
a challenge to the accessibility tools that are available.
thanx - ray
Subject: W4A Ajax Live Regions Paper

Greetings,
Charles Chen and I presented our paper on Ajax Live Regions at the
W4A 2007 conference. A special thanks to the Mozilla Foundation for
funding our research. Below is a link to the Ajax Live regions
paper followed by the Abstract as well as a shorter, summarized
version of our paper for the W4A accessibility challenge. The
papers discus ARIA live regions and show a practical example of
an Ajax chat, ReefChat (http://reefchat.overscore.com), exposing
DOM updates using Live Regions to a screen reader, Fire Vox (http://
www.firevox.clcworld.net).
Ajax Live Regions: Chat as a Case Example
http://www.w4a.info/2007/prog/1-thiessen.pdf
Abstract
Web 2.0 enabled by the Ajax architecture has given rise to a new
level of user interactivity through web browsers. Many new and
extremely popular Web applications have been introduced such as
Google Maps, Google Docs, Flickr, and so on. Ajax Toolkits such as
Dojo allow web developers to build Web 2.0 applications quickly and
with little effort. Unfortunately, the accessibility support in
most toolkits and Ajax applications overall is lacking. WAI-ARIA
markup for live regions presents a solution to making these
applications accessible. A chat example is presented that shows the
live regions in action and demonstrates several limitations of ARIA
live regions.
