------- Additional Comments from Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie.diggs at gmail.com>
Nothing has happened to the GNOME bug I filed; in the meantime, Orca (and
potentially other ATs) still have the need to know if a given object is a
WebKitGtk object. 

I discussed this further with Will, and he suggested an object attribute of
'toolkit:WebKitGtk'. Other toolkits (e.g. Gecko) can follow our lead. :-)

Note: This has no impact on the reported toolkit for the application; merely
gives ATs a hint about where the object is coming from.
