1) Inform MSAA client of selection events, P1/2days
Inform MSAA client that selection has happened. There are at least 3 kinds of
selection events: selection remove, selection add and selection within. We
don't know how to tell screen readers about selection within textfields and
textareas. That's scary.
2) Receive & perform MSAA client generated selection tasks, P2,4days
Sometimes the MSAA client such as screen reader will tell us what needs to be
selected. This bug only covers textareas and textfields.

I can take this. Do these events correspond *only* to selection of text? I
thought they might include selection in listboxes etc. but the description makes
it sound like only text.
the event stuff should be short, taking selection will be a little more work.

I *think* it oovers listboxes, etc., but we need to go back to the MSAA SDK docs.
I'd hold off a little until we find out if someone is going to use it.

Sorry, we don't need this now. Might need it in the future. Screen readers are
getting the selection via other means.

Screen readers currently get this info via OSM, but will need this in the future.
