--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
So currently os/DE is providing display relative positions in px. Would need to
application window/frame relative position, but ideally relative to current
page layout.

No idea if even feasible, or what "instrumentation" would be required to expose
for AT--and if the 3 main native bridges can even utilize the position.
