I can certainly see how this would help. it also has the advantage of
proposing something concrete, non-intrusive.

The thing that would worry me about such an approach, though, is that it
would kind of split the world intto two: one interface for sighted
people ando one for visually impaired persons. Our interface would be
way less tested, we would never be sure we are on feature parity with
what sighted persons can do.
