That's their problem, not ours. It is not our duty to rewrite our copy to
conform to the sloppy exception dictionaries and pronunciation heuristics
of some screen reader or other. WAI yet again casts its guidelines to
favour specific adaptive technologies.

The whole concept of having six names for three concepts (Priority 1/Level
A, Priority 2/Level AA, Priority 3/Level AAA) is absurd and
self-incriminating. Fortunately, it seems to have finally been put to
death in WCAG 2.0.
