 * Hello, all:
 * Ok, so I’m a rank newby. Still, perhaps some1 can help me figure out wussup here.
 * I have a website, w/an about page as a parent & 2 subpages beneath that called‘
   Elise’ & ‘Jackie’. The theme is twentyten.
 * When using wp_list_pages & wp_link_pages, the child pages do not read using a
   screenreader, though when I do a control u & look at the source, I can see that
   the links are indeed being listed. It is also evident that visually these links
   are there. I have tested this w/a couple of screenreaders, & the results are 
   the same.
 * If nothing else, that’s a fairly significant accessibility fault. I’m trying 
   to figure out what in this code would cause that to occur, as well as how to 
   fix it–& I mean fix it in the core code.
 * I can work around it, but, obviously, most web designers aren’t even going to
   be aware that this is taking place, w/the result that screenreader users may 
   be missing very important information on their sites. So it needs to be fixed
   in core, I’m thinking.
 * Thanks for any help/insights.
