307 * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should;
308 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
316 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
319 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
321 need getBaseAttributes ()
322 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
324 table: getVisibleRange
326 state: HEADER, etc. for spreadsheet cells
