When testing a site I was authoring (http://test.iradis.org/) using
various
screen-readers I had the problem with the links on the left size which
are
stacked under each other by means of using CSS to make them
display:block
and hiding the comma's between them for the CSS capable browsers. At
least
IBM HPR rambles the links as one (to fast read) sentence. I haven't got
into a solution yet.

The links (without CSS) render as a link lint like:

Title: Link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4

Usng CSS this becomes

+--------+
| Title  |
+--------+
| link 1 |
| link 2 |
| link 3 |
| link 4 |
+--------+

By hiding rhe comma's and making the links block. Since HRP reads out
the contents after the CSS processing, and doesn't regard the link
with pauses (only changes voice to female), and doesn't pause at line
breaks or containing blocks.
