RE: Separating adjacent links

Hi Pony,

Our staff at Vision Australia using screen readers (JAWS, WindowEyes and
HAL) reckon they just tune that sound out - it becomes like another space
between words. However, HPR requires the audible separator as otherwise it
just runs the links together. If you want to accommodate your JAWS users
better, try using a character that that JAWS reads as a one-syllable word.

Cheers, Andrew
