// may be computed dynamically, but maintains the properties that
// it's a strict tree, it has a unique id for each node, and all
// of the accessibility information about a node can be serialized
// as an AXNodeData. This is the primary interface to use when
// an accessibility tree will be sent over an IPC before being
