async and browser - screen reader communications.

Hi all,
I am sharing the below article for a couple of reasons.  First because the 
writer  explains  quite clearly what contributes to the  often poor 
async patterns between modern browsers and screen readers.
Second, I am wondering if there might be a tiny way to begin change via 
standards?
Here is the article and a bit on the source.

Subject: An answer to the busy messages from screen readers

James Tey  who used to be an NVDA developer and is now a Firefox developer describes why communications between browsers and screen readers is synchronous and causes poor performance.
