+/** This interface has to be implemented by any class that wants to be
+    accessible.
+
+    <p>It is used to provide access to the <type>XAccessibleContext</type>
+    interface but allows at the same time that that interface is implemented
+    by another class.</p>
+
+    <p>The distinction between the interfaces <type>XAccessible</type> and
+    <type>XAccessibleContext</type> makes it possible to split up the
+    implementation of the
+    class that is made accessible and the actual accessibility code into two
+    (mostly) independant parts.  The only necessary dependance is the
+    <member scope="XAccessible">getAccessibleContext()</member> function
+    that returns the accessible context.  This one-way link has to be
+    persistant in some sense: As long as there is at least one reference to
+    a specific <type>XAccessibleContext</type> object the
+    <type>XAccessible</type> object has to return the same context for every
+    call to <member scope="XAccessible">getAccessibleContext()</member>.
+    This is necessary to allow the use of object identity for comparing
+    accessibility contexts for being equal.</p>

+        <p>The idea to let this interface only return an

+        functions is to allow the seperation of the implementation of the
+        functions that make a class accessible from the implementation of
+        that class.  You may, of course, implement <type>XAccessible</type>
+        and <type>XAccessibleContext</type> in one class.</p>
