Hi Andrew - I don't agree with that. If you are reading with HPR in links
mode you hear links one at a time, In item reading mode they are just as
strung together as they would be with a screen reader except the screen
reader puts the word "link" in front of each. If you have a separation
character, then HPR puts a low pitch "bar" (or what ever the character is)
between each, but it is not _required_ because you have links reading mode.
