I like Mike's use of the legend element, but the problem I see with that
approach is that "Required Contact Info" is read before every single
label...
What if it were simply the word "required"?
<p>Enter your contact information:</p>
<fieldset>
<legend>Required:</legend>
<label for="name">Name:<br />
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="" />
</label>
...
That would vocalize "required name," "required email address,"
"required password," etc. That doesn't seem so egregious to me, and
all of the suggestions of adding a "required" markup to each input
field will surely produce at least that much baggage to the aural experience.
(I've shortened Mike's suggested labels, e.g. "Enter your full name"
to simply "Name." Doesn't the aural user agent make it amply clear
that this is a form and that each input field is an input field? On
that assumption I wouldn't consider it necessary to repeat "Enter
your" each time, but I'm open to being corrected on that point.)
