		<description><![CDATA[A visitor, Ben Boyle, recently wrote that he was surprised when OSX Voiceover announced a series of three periods as &#8220;elipsis.&#8221; It is a surprisingly accurate interpretation of a simple character string.

It uses Gez Lemon and Steve Faulkner&#8217;s updateBuffer technique as published in their article &#8220;Improving AJAX applications for JAWS users.&#8221; Is it only for JAWS, or will it make a difference for others too?

Some of the features they are highlighting are support for Powerpoint, Outlook calendars, Office 2007, and IE7/Skype.  Worth a look, and a test drive.
