Hi Rachel -- perhaps this may be more along the lines of what you are
looking for:

The Assistive Device Behaviour Chart, maintained by Gez Lemon over at
JuicyStudio
http://juicystudio.com/assistivedeviceschart.asp

It isn't completely exhaustive, but it is a great start. As we all learn
more about AT behaviours, we are encouraged to contribute to the chart so
that we all benefit.

Best regards,
Derek.
