A11Y is a two way street.
Both sets of developers (A11Y & other program) have to work together, so that 
the program
functions as expected, when using the A11Y software.

If the A11Y software developers don't take advantage of A11Y interfaces in the 
program, then it does not matter what the program developers do, the A11Y 
software won't work with it.

I don't know what the issue with VoiceOver is, but in the Windows world, unless 
Freedom Scientific recently changed their thinking, LibO and AOo are 
non-starters.For that matter, the same thing is true for GW Micro.

NeoOffice is more likely to work with VoiceOver than LibO.

What seems really stupid to me, is that rather than develop software that is 
fully functional for blind people, organizations will spend money teaching 
people that can't see, to fail to be able to use software that not only is 
user-hostile to begin with, but requires vision to be able to properly use.
