Similarly a table cell's accessible object may exist only while the cell has focus. However, from the perspective of an assistive technology a transient object behaves like a non-transient object. As a result it is likely that this state is not of use to an assistive technology, but it is provided in case an assistive technology determines that knowledge of the transient nature of the object is useful and also for harmony with the Linux accessibility API.
