I'd like just to point out that for now this is not the case :
If you run Orca after xbrlapi, wou don't have any keypresses transmitted 
to the X server. 
But I'd also like to ask this: Would it be so bad to implement PASSCHAR 
keypresses into the braille component of Orca ? Because of orca doing 
focus tracking, it would be easy to post keypresses to the right 
application, and it would be easier for the user (no need to start one 
program, and then another).
Just think about an end-user point of view...
