I have read this and I think it might be of more general interest in
the wider web community. It is a bit academic, but is not too long.
It is only 8 pages.
It describes the challenges of accessibility in Ajax-ified web pages.
Web pages are no longer linear and static and this provides a
challenge to the accessibility tools that are available.

Subject: W4A Ajax Live Regions Paper

Greetings,
Charles Chen and I presented our paper on Ajax Live Regions at the
W4A 2007 conference. A special thanks to the Mozilla Foundation for
funding our research. Below is a link to the Ajax Live regions paper
followed by the Abstract as well as a shorter, summarized version of
our paper for the W4A accessibility challenge. The papers discus ARIA
live regions and show a practical example of an Ajax chat, ReefChat
(http://reefchat.overscore.com), exposing DOM updates using Live
Regions to a screen reader, Fire Vox (http://www.firevox.clcworld.net).
Ajax Live Regions: Chat as a Case Example
http://www.w4a.info/2007/prog/1-thiessen.pdf
Abstract
Web 2.0 enabled by the Ajax architecture has given rise to a new
level of user interactivity through web browsers. Many new and
extremely popular Web applications have been introduced such as
Google Maps, Google Docs, Flickr, and so on. Ajax Toolkits such as
Dojo allow web developers to build Web 2.0 applications quickly and
with little effort. Unfortunately, the accessibility support in most
toolkits and Ajax applications overall is lacking. WAI-ARIA markup
for live regions presents a solution to making these applications
accessible. A chat example is presented that shows the live regions
in action and demonstrates several limitations of ARIA live regions.
