Exposing change tracking to an AT

[Pete Brunet <brunet@us.ibm.com>]

>7. (From August 23 meeting) - Pete
Brunet - review section 4.6 of the ODF 1.2 specification and see how an
application should supply tracking change information to an AT. Write proposal
on how this should be addressed in the accessibility guidelines

This was discussed with the Notes 8
a11y dev lead and the developer at Freedom Scientific.  The app just
needs to expose same information the sighted user gets, e.g. colors and
underlines.  These are exposed via IA2's IAccessbileText::attributes
method.  For example, in the Notes 8 word processor inserts are shown
in blue with a double underline.  IAText::attributes already exposes
this information to the AT.
