There is much about current browsers and AT that infuriates me too Jared,
but in this instance, I think if there is a reason to include redundant
content using a del tag (as in, it never made it to final draft) then there
is case to explain to the user why it is no longer part of the content ...
AT can no more do that than it can guess what every image alt text should
be.
