Response to David by JRG: I think it would be difficult in some operating systems for the browser to know there is a screen reader, escpecially UNIX. I think that the browser should have features that can support screen readers, but I am not sure we should require screen readers to be detected. It is not clear to me that there would be a good consensus between screen reader manufactures about what the browser should do if it new there was a screen reader present.
