Well that rather brings us back to an earlier, contentious thread - legality.
How the **** am I supposed to do anything when experts can't agree on what
one of the commonest screen readers does? If I am working on a private site
then I can do my best, but if I'm working on a site that I could get sued
over then I have to make damn sure that I don't break _anything_ for anyone,
which inevitably means compromise, and generally means dropping features.
