 * AccessibleContext represents the minimum information all accessible objects
 * return.  This information includes the accessible name, description, role,
 * and state of the object, as well as information about its parent and 
 * children.  AccessibleContext also contains methods for
 * obtaining more specific accessibility information about a component.
 * If the component supports them, these methods will return an object that
 * implements one or more of the following interfaces:
 * <P><ul>
 * <li>{@link AccessibleAction} - the object can perform one or more actions.  
 * This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive
 * technology to determine what those actions are and tell the object
 * to perform them.  Any object that can be manipulated should
 * support this interface.
 * <li>{@link AccessibleComponent} - the object has a graphical representation.
 * This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive 
 * technology to determine and set the graphical representation of the 
 * object.  Any object that is rendered on the screen should support
 * this interface.
 * <li>{@link  AccessibleSelection} - the object allows its children to be 
 * selected.  This interface provides the standard mechanism for an
 * assistive technology to determine the currently selected children of the object
 * as well as modify its selection set.  Any object that has children
 * that can be selected should support this interface.
 * <li>{@link AccessibleText} - the object presents editable textual information
 * on the display.  This interface provides the standard mechanism for
 * an assistive technology to access that text via its content, attributes,
 * and spatial location.  Any object that contains editable text should
 * support this interface.
 * <li>{@link AccessibleValue} - the object supports a numerical value.  This
 * interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology
 * to determine and set the current value of the object, as well as obtain its
 * minimum and maximum values.  Any object that supports a numerical value
 * should support this interface.</ul>
