Through the link menu in JAWS Rolf is able to maneuver within WordPress and

nowhere to be found within JAWS. I.e. Rolf can write a blog post but he
can't publish it..."

The button is there and can be accessed with Jaws in a couple of different
ways. I tend to use the h shortcut key twice from the top of the page to
reach the "Publish" heading, then the b shortcut key twice to reach the
"Publish" button. Otherwise I use Jaws key + f5 to open the list of form
fields and use the p key once to move to the "Publish" button.

I don't think this would be much different in older versions of Jaws, but it
works with Jaws 12 and 13, in both IE9 and FF14.
