Yes, know I understand the reasons. Thanks.

Anyway, and probably just a nitpick, my concern about redefine toolkit_name and
toolkit_version is because, as I said in my previous comment, there isn't a new
toolkit here, so redefine the toolkit_name as "Webkit" is just a hack hint for
the AT applications (like Orca).

But I also understand that from the POV of Orca would be more easy to implement
a lot of things, as Webkit will not be tied to one specific application (it
would be used for epiphany, devhelp, and so on) so it has sense to share it.
The other option, quick-thought, would be have a epiphany, devhelp and so on
scripts, all of them calling common python scripts, but the problem is that if
it appears a new Gtk+ using WebKitWebView, it wouldn't use the specific Orca
scripts without updating Orca.

Probably the best option to solve that is just redefine toolkit_name as you
suggest, perhaps any others (Xan?) have their own opinion.
