Description
A UIA provider can raise a structure change event when nodes are added or removed from the tree. However, it's not clear whether we actually need to implement this type of event. I know, for example, that the NVDA screen reader ignores these events. We need to find out if any AT actually depends on these events, and if so, implement them.

Research direction
Start by determining whether assistive technologies besides NVDA depend on UIA structure change events when nodes are added or removed. Use the issue's UIA provider context and NVDA's stated behavior as starting points. Done means establishing whether the event is needed and, if so, defining the implementation scope.
