Thank you, Josh : as you will have realised,
I've never actually used a screen-reader in
real life, so I can only guess what they do.

If you are familiar with the technology hands-
on, can you also say whether classes and/or
IDs (as well as elements) are exposed to the
end-user by any system  of which you are aware ?
