I think it's down to the fact that most 3rd party accessibility tools are written for Windows/MS Office. This is a result of Microsoft having the greatest market share, rather than any specific features that MS Office has over OpenOffice.
Still, if the lack of accessibility tools is a barrier to increased market share, then it's down to the Open Source community to provide them. And this doesn't have to mean unpaid coders - these tools could come from Sun, Novell, IBM etc.
Government contests they had proof which dates far back, so why wasn't anything done?
Having proof which dates back 10 years is not necessarily the same thing as knowing about it for 10 years.
The amount of detail in the affadavit makes it look like the investigators have got hold of the Russian file on "B". It appears that Hanssen was only under FBI surveillance since 2000.
