I'll keep the "[REVIEW-3-6-3] a11y fix" flag handy for the next round. But,
I'm
 not sure David and Stephan would consider it trivial given the way the Java
and UNO accessibility source was structured.

In fact, I have not yet tested this patch against a 3-7 build of master.
 
Problems with the daily TinderBox builds took the better  part of  two weeks 
to get  the initial  commit for this issue tested.  I had to ask to have it
pushed  
down on  the -3-6 build  for testing because there has not been a viable
Windows
 build  of master complete in close to a month, Tinderbox 16 does not count
as it is a
minimal build.

Seems that if we are going to solicit more  testing and bug reporting
against the Windows
builds of master the MSVC and MinGW TinderBoxes need to be more  closely 
monitored and assistance rendered to assure viable testing can occur.
