I assume this is mostly for sighted people wanting to check their page. So how about a simple cgi (hosted somewhere well known) that just returns the list of links on the page with text/alt and url. Example: http://cgi.w3.org/WAI/linklist?url=www.w3.org/WAI would return: W3C Home http://www.w3.org WAI Home http://www.w3.org/WAI new Working Draft: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH News, Events & History: #News Stay Informed, Get Involved: #Information Resources on Web Accessibility: #Resources etc. This could also be provide as a standalone tool. Note that this kind of service is already supported as part of the ETH Proxy service at http://www.inf.ethz.ch/department/IS/ea/blinds/ (currently down but I remember it listing all the link up front) and could easily be added to Kynn Bartlett's http://www.cgu.edu/degrade/.
