I tested a page with the following

<button type="submit">
<p>This is the button...</p>
<p>...with some paragraphs</p>
</button>

Which is rendered in Lynx as

(Submit)
This is the button...
...with some paragraphs

and the focus is on the (Submit)...so I'm wondering how users with a
combination of Lynx + braille display (or similar AT) would experience
this, as it's not obvious that the content of (which effectively acts as
a label for) the button follows the (Submit).
