Re: JavaScript vs. Screen Readers

I think that is what the screen readers have done - their model though is 
to upgrade to get the new function.  Are you suggesting that they patch 
the older versions?  From what I understand that is not their business 
model - bug patches yes, but new feature support costs developer time and 
resources that needs to get funded from somewhere - currently the only 
source is their business model to charge their customers for some 
upgrades.

Have you sent your request to the screen reader vendors?  What did they 
tell you?
