280 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
288 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
291 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
293 need getBaseAttributes ()
294 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
296 table: getVisibleRange
