I agree. I didn't understand this either.
I actually got the latest version of firefox and visited the ARIA
enabled google reader page but still did not have much luck with
accessibility.
As an example, I couldn't rearrange my subscriptions (which I imported
using an opml file) into a new folder structure. I see the text "add
to folder" or "change folder" next to the subscriptions but it is just
that "text"...I cannot click it with the keyboard or the mouse or
anything.
I am using jaws 9.0 with windows xp sp2.
Am I missing something here?
