33 * The <code>AccessibleStreamable</code> interface should be implemented
34 * by the <code>AccessibleContext</code> of any component that presents the
35 * raw stream behind a component on the display screen. Examples of such
36 * components are HTML, bitmap images and MathML. An object that implements
37 * <code>AccessibleStreamable</code> provides two things: a list of MIME
38 * types supported by the object and a streaming interface for each MIME type to
39 * get the data.
