I wonder if this should be done at browser or screen reader level. I 
would think this at least the header movement commands and announcing 
one thing or the other should be the screen readers responsibility not 
the browsers. This could, if done right ensure compatibility with more 
browsers. And now, at the risk of getting flamed to ashes, i say that 
in my personal opinion, navigating to every single element is a bit 
overkill. I think Jfw and We have gone too far in implementing 
accessibility features. It's nice to be able to navigate to whatever 
place you like to go on a web page, but i'd rather see more 
compatibility with other browsers such as Opera and Mozilla. But these 
are windblows issues and not Linux ones, not yet at least.
