Description
https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/issues/1441 and https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/issues/1439 need the accessibility tree to be available. @cookiecrook pointed out that it may need an opt-in instead of being always available because in browsers today the accessibility tree is only built when it is needed, since there is a performance cost.
So this opt-in should be decided on and specified.
