[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    Just wanted to share this with you all as XML is increasingly used in
Web applications and on Web sites. Hope everyone is having a great week.

I know of at least one screen reader user who's been able to fix bugs in
Firefox's UI using XUL.

You may be interested in the XUL accessibility guidelines:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_accessibility_guidelines

Because XUL is declarative it makes it easier to arrange and debug and
UI, and also makes it possible to write a validator that checks
accessibility. Work started on those projects (from WebAIM), but it's
currently stalled. We'd love to see that kind of work keep going.
