[webkit-efl] Support for WAI-ARIA standard.

[Krzysztof Czech]

Yes, you are right GTK guys already made it and it works pretty well with WebKit2.
WebKit/GTK already implements ATK interfaces. It does not make sense to duplicate their
implementation. It could shared and adjusted to EFL environment if required.

Regarding dependencies, like you mentioned, glib with gobject.
Generally yes, this work is going to WebKit2/EFL.

How important is this work ?. I think it may be used for phone accessibility in the future.

Krzysztof
