      Would like to have the Swing toolkit automatically create an AccessibleRelation between scroll bars and the things they scroll (e.g. the JScrollPane situation). This will make it a lot easier for programmers to comply with a new convention the Accessibility Program Office is introducing wherethere should be an AccessibleRelation between scroll bars and the things they scroll. Without this, it'll be more work for Swing programmers to make their applications accessible.

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In many cases in Swing it is possible to easily programatically determine that a JScrollBar (or two) is scrolling some JPanel (the cannonical case is a JScrollPane). In these cases, when accessibility support is instantiated (e.g. the AccessibleJScrollBar is created), a Controller_For and Controled_By relation should be instantiated between the AccessibleJScrollBar and the AccessibleJPanel that the JScrollBar and JPanel are associated with.

      This will allow various assistive technologies, especially voice-recognition technologies, to better interact with scrolling items.
