Don't mess up your HTML markup (and risk causing problems for users of
those products that do it correctly) to try to cater for the shortcomings
of a particular screen reader or AT, because while you are doing that the
manufacturer is probably updating their product to do the correct thing
anyway! - and if they don't, and they allow their product to to fall too
far behind other similar products, people will soon stop using them and the
problem will have been solved for you.
