 No, I can't explain what a screen reader would do with it. However,
 if someone could explain to me what a screen-reader/user combination
 expects, then I probably can write the code.

Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to be facetious. I'm curious.

Just to be clear, I had to look up "facetious".  :-)

No, I realize that you, like me, are trying to understand what's going on.

That's why it's not obvious to me how a user knows how to find the
accessibility icon in your example. That doesn't mean it's necessarily
broken; I just want to know for my own education.

Same here -- I've asked before, but received no answers.

If I my CAPTCHA reads "Please click the accessibility icon" -- how does a blind user find the icon and do it? Is my treatment of this too simplistic, wrong, misguided, or what?

I'm looking for some direction here.

Cheers,

tedd
