accessibility

[Michał Zegan]

hmm, so I will need to wait few years to be able to develop javafx
things at all?
Of course, I'm myself blind so making fx apps does not make sense if I
cannot test it or use it.
As for issues, this is just one pretty obvious thing: when using
screenreaders except those (maybe) that read the display to get what's
on it and that is something that for example windows8 has removed, do
not and will never, unless accessibility is implemented, get anything
inside program windows at all in any case, except the window title and
only because it's a window manager/system thing and the window title is
presented in the taskbar.
