300 * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should;
301 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
309 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
312 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
314 need getBaseAttributes ()
315 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
317 table: getVisibleRange
319 state: HEADER, etc. for spreadsheet cells
