The accessibility question is actually still somewhat of a non-issue at 
this point as there still isn't support for it in the C++ wxTreeCtrl. 
What Kevin is saying is that once it is added to the C++ version then 
wxPython will get it for free in wx.TreeCtrl but it will take additional 
work to make it available in wxPython and then more for CustomTreeCtrl 
to use it.  Also it may be possible to add support for it in the C++ 
classes using platform dependent code, but that wxPython will have to 
wait until there are wx classes implemented for accessibility which can 
be wrapped.

So since accessibility is not really an issue yet my only concerns at 
this point are the non-native look and feel of the CustomTreeCtrl on 
Windows, which I've already talked to Andrea about, and the potential 
for a newbie to get lost/confused/stuck with some AUI related thing, and 
I've got an idea on that which I'll be working on today.
