Rob,
GraniteUI is the UI model for the administrative interface. That is built on top of our internal CoralUI framework and we have done (and continue to) work to improve the accessibility of that framework, including utilizing ARIA where appropriate.

Granite isn't used for the widgets that an AEM author might put into a web site. The components for that are built on Sling for 5.6 and we are transitioning to Sightly for 6.0. The Sightly components need some work, which is a current area of focus for the product.

I'm not sure about the keyboard access to the carousel but can inquire.

For longdesc, yes, an admin could modify the UI to provide a way to easily add longdesc. It is also possible for a user to modify the code for an image component in the rich text editor to include the longdesc.

Hope this helps,
AWK
