Mind you, most of the time, there won't be edits going on. There are screen readers that recognize text that is being appended, so it may already work normally most of the time (then becomes temporarily confusing when edits are going on) But, yes, you can write a screen-reader compliant application that supports XEP-0301, even during editing. (like a blind-friendly text editor that's written in a way to be more screen reader friendly) Thanks Mark Rejhon
