Sure... the most important area in this regard will be to desgin
the SEE package in such a way that it will work well with
assistive devices.  For working out the details, we'll need help
from someone who has a good understanding of the needs of the
various groups of disabled users.

Sounds like a good plan.

Independant of these market reasons, there are also technical
reasons for DotGNU to commit to using XML for all internal data
storage.  These reasons are: 1. making it easier to ensure
interoperability between components of DotGNU that are
implemented in different programming languages, 2. ease of
debugging.
