Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, not every element in the JBoss Enterprise BRMS user interface had a text equivalent. This meant the user interface was not compliant with Section 508, and could prevent users with screen readers from accessing the user interface. This has been resolved by adding text equivalents for all non-text elements.

Scratch that, my mistake.

Yes it is (or we are attempting to have it complete, or much of it, for 5.3.1). We haven't dev_ack-'ed all Section 508 BZs. This one remains!

We managed to cover most of the images. I made a separate ticket for the rest https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853391

There is a good change that the GWT 2.5 release will fix these. If it doesn't then we need to spends some time overwriting the GWT codes or possibly making our own widgets.
