I think your right, the accessibility workgroup would like to do more, 
and perhaps something different. In the last linux foundation 
accessibility conference call it was mentioned a few times. One of the 
options was to start from scratch on these tests using the python client 
bindings to AT-SPI. Another was simply to extend the existing tests for 
more coverage.

Whats the rules regarding building LSB tests with lsbcc? Will the tests 
have to do so before they can be considered part of the LSB test suite? 
Is it acceptable to create python tests?

Thanks

Mark
