Patch for 1.8 branch

Details | Diff | Splinter Review 
Because of bug 241015 which is only fixed on trunk, we have no way of exposing accessible objects in remote XUL.

A workaround is to use dynamic content accessibility attributes, as in:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessible_DHTML

Unfortunately the QI to nsIAccessibleProvider succeeds but the getter fails, and the code will not check the role.

This fix is needed for the worakround being used in bug 350615.
