I'm quite new to this thing of live regions.  I understand the concept
but wonder if many websites do it with any accessibility in mind.  I
was trying to use www.verizonwireless.com the other day and attempted
to login.  When failure messages were shown from an invalid login
attempt, they were not spoken.  Even with these upcomming fixes, would
this site be expected to work properly or does the web developer have
to jump through other hoops too?

I'm still using Orca 2.20.3; haven't gotten brave with the svn route
just yet, let alone applying patches. :)
