Hi, Dear Accessibility: This shouldn't be a problem to fix in the current release of Leopard 10.5.7. It was working prior to the Webit Nightlies of two months ago or so, and the Safari 4.x series. I feel that it is worth fixing in Leopard as many of the blind community are still on PPC machines and won't be making the switch to SL.
