Mozilla accessibility architecture
html elements ask the node's primary frame for an accessible via nsiframe::getaccessible().
...de is returned by nsiaccessible's traversal methods atk/msaa toolkit traversal method → nsaccessible traversal method → nsaccessibletreewalker method which traverses dom & anonymous content → nsiaccessibilityservice::getaccessible() with the content node → nsdocaccessible::getcachedaccessnode() and returns if successful, or → nsiaccessibleprovider::getaccessible() (if xul) or → nsiframe::getaccessible() (if html), which either return nothing or → nsiaccessibilityservice::create[inserttypenamehere]accessible() → operator new, which finally constructs the object.
... whether via nsiaccessibleprovider::getaccessible() or nsiframe::getaccessible(), new accessibles are created by calling back to the accessibility service, and using a specific method for creating each type of accessible.
