       - I don't know if this is a reasonable expectation on Fedora.  Need to
talk to someone who works on accessibility to know if this is a viable option
for blind users, for a subset that are vision impaired but not totally blind,
or of no use at all.

The (yet unreleased) GNOME 3.6 release notes have this to say at the moment:
  WebKitGTK+ received a lot of attention and many bug fixes that have
  resulted in a better accessibility support. We are quite pleased with
  the progress thus far towards making content viewed in Web
  compellingly accessible for Orca users.

So perhaps WebKitGTK+-based browsers in Fedora >= 18 would make this a viable option.
