Well, the official description of Leopard VoiceOver features says:
In VoiceOver you can navigate sequentially through an application or
document or skip through by object. For example, you could jump to
the next or previous header, button, link, field, graphic, or text
attribute, such as font or style
http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/features/accessibility.html
Note it doesn't specifically mention forms or tables. And it doesn't
mention skipping groups of links to the next block of text at all. If
you want to see them in Leopard or a future version of Mac OS X, I would
therefore strongly recommend asking for those two features specifically
via [EMAIL PROTECTED], if you haven't already. With regards to
skipping groups of links, navigation lists of links often have a certain
amount of text between each link. It would be useful to be able to
configure how much intervening text should be ignored when skipping over
links, and it would be helpful to suggest a good default figure (e.g. 5
characters, perhaps). I'd also suggest that skipping over links should
be a Safari feature rather than a VoiceOver feature, since it is useful
to people who have good eyesight but have mobility impairments which
means they must use the keyboard or a switch device to move around.
(This is actually true of a lot of VoiceOver features, but skipping
groups of links seems a particular important one because many pages
feature lots and lots of links.)
