Can anyone tell me whether any screen reader supports the <optgroup> tag
at all? I have tested with Window Eyes, JAWS, and Home Page Reader, and
none of them seem to read the optgroup correctly, though for some reason
JAWS does read the first optgroup heading--and only the first optgroup
heading--in my test file:

I would appreciate it if people with screen readers could either tell me
how to access the optgroup, or else tell me authoritatively that they
don't support it.
