This is a work around that provides some of the functionality you are
looking for. But until there is better communication from the
browsers side, we are stuck with flimsy work arounds.

This example? Nothing to do with the browser and everything to do
with javascript and Flash.

Flash is a visual medium, I would rather not dumb it down and take
the visual part away. But, here is a good site to look at what it is
doing as far as accesibility is concerned:

In the future I see both the browsers and the flash player getting
better at accessibility. But I also believe that the web will
continue it's trend towards MORE (smarter) multimedia rather than
less.
