I can share the way I link to documents. The goal is to alert the AT
user of the document type and its size, while at the same time providing
a visual indicator of the same for the sighted user. I would appreciate
any feedback on its effectiveness.

This is the web page:

Here is the source code for a linked document:

<a href="/word/MHTG/TWGOutcomeSummary.doc">Outcome Summary Report<span
class="filesize">
[<img style="border:none;"
src="/graphics/MHTG/wordLogo.gif" alt="Microsoft Word" />
164<abbr title="kilobytes">KB</abbr>]</span></a>
