/**
 * <P>The AccessibleEditableText interface should be implemented by all
 * classes that present editable textual information on the display.
 * Along with the AccessibleText interface, this interface provides
 * the standard mechanism for an assistive technology to access
 * that text via its content, attributes, and spatial location.
 * Applications can determine if an object supports the AccessibleEditableText
 * interface by first obtaining its AccessibleContext (see {@link Accessible})
 * and then calling the {@link AccessibleContext#getAccessibleEditableText}
 * method of AccessibleContext.  If the return value is not null, the object
 * supports this interface.
