Longer answer: there are weird little hacks with flash, but they are so unreliable as to not be worth using.
Longest answer: it's possible to design the page so that it looks right both in visual browsers and with screenreaders, and that has generally been the dreamwidth goal from day one, I think. In this case I would want to sit down with the screenreader user and work out exactly the parts that are unclear.
theplotbunny, would you be willing at some point to sit down with me (Skype, chat, rapid exchange of e-mails -- whatever would end up working out best), so that we could figure out which parts are unclear and clarify them? Disclaimers: I'm on coding hiatus until January, and someone else might take on this bug before then. But "error messages which are unclear to screenreader" definitely seems like a bug, not a feature request.
