+// may be computed dynamically, but maintains the properties that
+// it's a strict tree, it has a unique id for each node, and all

+// an accessibility tree will be sent over an IPC before being
+// consumed.

AXNodeSource

[dmazzoni, 2013/11/13 19:35:59]

Done.

+class CONTENT_EXPORT AXTreeSource {

[David Tseng, 2013/11/13 18:00:07]

These should probably be protected.

[dmazzoni, 2013/11/13 19:35:59]

Done.

Do you need GetRoot*? If not, this class could be made entirely stateless which
has its advantages.

[dmazzoni, 2013/11/13 19:35:59]

Not currently used so I deleted it. I think it is stateless either way, right?
