Ergo, inaccessible.  Requiring "user agents" to overcome shortcomings in the
HTML we give them is an un-reasonable expectation.  The fact that JAWS
and/or WindowEyes have been designed to accommodate crummy coding practices
is a benefit to some users, but does not in any way "forgive" the
inaccessible development of these sites.
