The roles and properties are not radically
different between UIA and IAccessible2/AT-SPI, but
unfortunately all accessibility API's have some
differences in those areas.

More specifically, IBM was part of the original
UIA review process, and while use of roles is not
exactly the same as in AT-SPI and IAccessible2, we
believe a mapping is possible. The review was
under NDA so we can't discuss the details.

Microsoft planned for companies to write adapters
to UIA. We would be happy to work with Microsoft
to support a cohesion in the future if needed. We
would like the work to be done in an open
standards venue.
