[nfbcs] Opposing Freedom Scientific's signedBrailleDriverInitiative

[Chris Westbrook]

Well, at least when I tried it last, Window Eyes was much less responsive 
with my braille display than Jaws, and they didn't seem to have anything 
equivalent to the flash messages in Jaws, which allows Jaws to display short 
quick messages on the braille display, such as hte title of a window, on 
command without taking up needed braille display room at other times.
