It doesn't work with a screen reader in either Safari or Opera using
VoiceOver - and I wouldn't expect it to until differentiating media types
is reliably implemented. So this seems like an approach to avoid - the use
of off-screen positioning is less harmful (if still not that great). If
anyone wants a test case, let me know - I would expect that in Windows no
screen reader will read the content either, but don't have a windows
machine to test (although I need one - at least I have a handful of
windows screen readers).
