A browser that exposes DOM or a browser that can understand this PRE
class trick.

OK, so let's have two recommendations:
for inline graphics done using plain text (using PRE for example),
- [Interim] make sure you announce the beginning and the end of
graphic portion using a text "marker" understandable by the user
reading the page, so that she or he can skip this portion.
- [New] use PRE and class=graphics
In both cases, include a long description link for the graphic.
One way to do the interim job while keeping the original look is to
use CSS display=none on some marked SPAN:
<SPAN class=ascii-art-marker>Ascii-art (ending with Figure caption)</SPAN>
<PRE class=graphic>
