[Mark wrote] To understand what "it" means, the user has to backtrack through the sentence, paragraph, list item, or table cell to discover the context. This is a major pain.

Most screen readers like JAWS and NVDA support commands such as say line, say paragraph, say sentence, and say cell or cel headers -- so there is no need for the user to back track or move screen reader focus. The list of allowable types was specifically built on what screen readers can say without moving screen reader focus.
