Hi,

please note there is a discussion of this topic in the Web Accessibility  
Interest Group, and input from people here would be welcome. See the  
thread starting <http://www.w3.org/mid/570505FC.6080801@nc.u-tokyo.ac.jp>

TL;DR: Key browser indicators are not available to people with visual  
impairments, leaving them unable to act rationally due to a lack of  
information.

cheers
