Well, I thought about it a bit: If they do, they'll be acting in a very 
foolish manner. Here we have a simple tool that has the potential of 
altering the perception that Flash is terrible for accessibility by 
actually using Flash to *enhance* the accessibility in Ajax. I thought 
of calling it SWFAid first but then thought that it would do greater 
good for the Flash Platform to have "Flash" mentioned in the title so 
people can more readily make the connection between Flash and 
Accessibility.
