Dark, I haven't checked your list, but if you don't have lostsouls.org on your list, you need to add it. The main admin of that mud put a lot of work into adding screen reader settings to make the mud as user friendly as he could make it, and although I don't play there anymore purely for personal reasons, it's still an excellent mud, and deserves an entry, since the admin worked so hard to make it accessible.
