Well it does and it doesn't based on how I've seen Screen readers work 
today. Screen readers seem to read out the content based on it's visual 
appearance of the content on the screen. I would like to see something that 
allows for reordering of content, but I do believe that any manipulation of 
content like this is in fact transformation and not presentation. Though I 
also believe that moving content on the screen is transformation and not 
presentation (i.e. the order of content is important).

Has anyone considered a transformation module for CSS that doesn't use CSS, 
but rather something a little more XSLT-like. This would include positioning 
and boxing and transformation.
