sdnAccessible::QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown) needs to return the IUnknown of the original AccessibleWrap.

This is not a problem if one goes through IServiceProvider, but if they just QI directly for IID_ISimpleDOMNode then things break.

It turns out that this kinda works (we query that stuff from the node) but we revert back to using our own unknown if we can't resolve an accessible from that node.

As a tearoff we should keep a strong reference to the original AccessibleWrap so that this association never breaks.

I believe these objects are sometimes created on there own as non tearoffs, so that is correct in some cases, but we may need a strong ref to make the tear off case correct.
Sounds reasonable.

Hold a strong reference to associated AccessibleWrap

this will have interesting behavior when you hold on to a sdnAccessible accross an accessible being recreated for something like a layout change, but you choose to use this interface you get to keep the pieces :p

>+    : mNode(aAccWrap->GetNode())

I'd be fine with compressing the lines here a bit.

>-  Accessible* GetAccessible() const;
>+  Accessible* GetAccessible();

this could be AccessibleWrap* now and we could drop some casts right?
