My bad, HN doesn't make obvious to screen readers who is answering to whom and I thought that you mean the comment with the Yugo radio programs.

  So basically screen readers blindly stumble into comment trees? Never thought of that.

    HN markup for comments isn't great. It's table cells and spacer gifs. Visually, threads are clear, semantically, they aren't.

    Usually, a comment tree is made as list of lists. HN does not bother with semantic tags though and the information does not reach the SR.

      Oh my, this sounds like a really valuable feature. I wonder if the folks maintaining HN would consider adding accessibility enhancements like this.

  Maybe it would be helpful if the devs added some sort of "reply to" ARIA tag to each comment? That wouldn't be too hard, would it?

    Hey dang, if I mention you this way, will you notice the above suggestion? It seems pretty easy and pretty valuable!
