In several situations it is highly desirable for assistive
technologies to parse and present the raw stream behind a component
on the screen (e.g. HTML, bitmap images, MathML). This new interface
provides a standard way to get at and use that stream. This
interface is already in the GNOME Accessibility API.

Further, we would like to see this interface implemented on
HTMLEditorKit for HTML text, and on ImageIcon (and the Swing classes
that embed ImageIcons like JButton).
