I'd like to see accessibility baked-in because that would be my preferred path to a fully-addressable/programmable UI, and UI-QA-as-code. The way we QA UI's today is way too hack'ish. I want to be able to write unit tests for the UI within the development flow of writing the UI itself, not in some external, bolted-on fashion. Part of what seems missing is I can call the UI to perform some action on my behalf, but querying the compositor upon the final results sitting on the display output seems to be haphazardly available; I can query for some elements, but not all, or I can query for pixels but not what UI element those pixels belong to.
