hi
these features may already be in leopard though remember, we don't
know each feature yet detail by detail, so we just wait and see i think

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

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.)
