Hi Melanie,

When you test with a particular screen reader it can be problematic, because
as you say, a different version will give you different results. Also, this
way people who use a different screen reader might also be excluded. It is
best to follow good practices, be as maticulous about tagging as possible,
and let assistive technologies worry about reading a properly written
document. It pays off on the long run.
