Notably, how does one update content in an existing page in an accessible manner? Accessifyforum had a short discussion on techniques and approaches a few months ago [4] My impression is that its possible to make dynamic content accessible - if its user invoked (e.g. clicking on a link). Using internal anchors to either jump directly to the changed part of the content or perhaps to a "summary of changes / log" area (which then links to the changed content) could open up this technology in an accessible manner.
