Got it. That's really interesting. I like this way of philosophie. But on the 
other hand for a "simple" user the most important seems to be that the screen 
reader just works. The "average" user is probably not interested in technical 
back ground stuff but in just working with a web side as easily as possible. 
Eventually that's Apples philosophie in all there products for sighted 
customers.
I wished they tried to implement some stuff in VO to compensate bad code from 
web side developers. In the end it takes my time to surf a web side not theirs.
But thanks again for your explanation. It gives me more clarity.
