(From update of attachment 264603 [details] [diff] [review])
>+class CAccessibleAction: public nsISupports,
I know you do this so that you can use do_QueryInterface, but you should know
that this bloats your object's memory footprint, although since you already
have at least 12 vtable entries, an extra one or two wouldn't seem to matter.
While you're at it make sure that we only expose IA2 interfaces when equivalent XPCOM interface is supported.

This is not always the case when the class supports the interface. Sometimes we have a "smart QI". For example, for nsHyperTextAccessible::QI we sometimes support nsIAccessibleText/nsIAccessibleEditableText/nsIAccessibleHyperText and sometimes not. So you have to check before exposing equivalent COM interface.
