Accessibility Status Update [marco]

• Initial Firefox 4 feedback indicates some problems on Windows XP with two commercial screen readers. The reason why this was not brought to our attention earlier is probably due to high Windows 7 adoption among early adopters. One of the bugs is bug 644084, and we're investigating other issues. On Windows 7, and the small percentage on Vista, things are OK.
• Queue is building up for m-c landings after the tree reopens.
• We are also planning on some stuff to land for the first 4.0.x release. Some approved blockers there.
