Signaling committment is not useful at all. Only doing the job is.

KDE 4.6 ships with KAccessible (in the kde-accessibility module) which uses 
QAccessible direct to provide things like focus tracking and screenreading. 
That works very well, is portable and does the job for now. In the future it 
will probably be extended with atspi but then that's only a "maybe" while 
kaccessible already works.
