[Accessibility] Screen readers and WCAG - current state of art

[Alexander Surkov]

The [3] is just an accusation without any technical details or if you
like proof of guilt. The report doesn't say even what browser and what
version of JAWS or NVDA they used. However this is a key thing I
believe. I agree with James it would be more helpful to get additional
information.

Thank you.
Alex.
