[WG: Accessibility] Ctools Chat

[Mary Stores]

It makes sense to me. ARIA can either be really helpful, or really 
unhelpful. I think it would be best to do colaborative testing fo 
anything that might get implemented. JAWS and VoiceOver could present 
separate sets of issues possibly. And then there's the fact that most 
people are still not comfortable with ARIA who use screen readers.
