Thanks for this, I will do a search on WebAim again to see if I can find it.

I do see pro's and con's for it. The windows model doesn't require you to
interact with the object to move down the underlying tree structure. While
Mac you have too. Performance in moving around the screen can be slower as
you can see duplicated information on the windows platform. I do not see
this as Much on the Mac. You still do not get relationship information such
as this object is at the top of the screen left side. This concept can be
done easily enough as the information is in the accessibility tree. It is
helpful in my view for someone who uses a screen reader, but is going to be
for a small group of users.


ChromeVox seemed to have a hybrid between a virtual buffer and object
navigation which again is good and bad.
