Certainly on-screen character placement coordinates could be very
useful information, and I suppose the accompanying font info in some
circumstances as well

But are there actually good methods for handling XML from within the
jaws script language?  I suppose you could instantiate the MSXML DOM
object, but that is pretty heavyweight for most of the uses I am
thinking this sort of information would be good for.

It will also be interesting to see just how many programs this is able
to work with, given the growing number that don't work with the jaws
cursor now.
