I listed the reasons in the section of background facts:
* The work to extend Qt Accessibility has already been made.
* Qt Accessibility is portable.

I could add:
* All KDE widgets are subclasses of Qt widgets and inherit Qt Accessibility 
support.
* Qt Accessibility offers everything that we need for AT-SPI support, so it 
doesn't seem to make sense implementing atk support twice.

But I am probably missing something here. What exactly would be the technical 
difference between #1 and #2?
