James,
Thank you for the code sample.
At this point the only known place generated CSS content works with assistive technology is Safari/Voice Over or are there other combinations you are aware of?
Jon

CSSOM not DOM:
var pseudoBefore = window.getComputedStyle(myElement, "::before"); var genContent = pseudoBefore.getPropertyValue("alt") || pseudoBefore.getPropertyValue("-webkit-alt") || pseudoBefore.getPropertyValue("content");
If "content" returned an image URL string, you'd have to further parse to determine if there was a useful text alternative, or maybe the text or speak-as value of the counter if the content of the pseudo-element was a counter. [1]
