Hello:
You bring up a vary important point. I have had the same thing happen to me. I had a site I consulted on use every accessible element I know of to make the site easy and friendly. And I would do the same thing again. But what to my dismay when I found my students did not know how to read a table or move through a form or even use headers on a web page. So I started teaching better browsing as well smile. Now I teach not only those things but I also teach place marks and land marks. And here is my wish. So in the last few versions of screen readers it is possible to move by land marks now I want the ability to move to only the main land mark or the nav or so on. I need three more keys on my quick keys.
