[Athen] Anyone using IE 8?

[Kestrell]

I use Firefox as my default browser with Jaws as my screen reader, and a 
couple of days ago I was doing accessibility testing for someone who had 
gotten a complaint from a blind user that her Web site was not accessible. 
It looked fine to me in Firefox, but when I looked at it in IE8, I got a 404 
error. Since then I have heard from other screen reader users that IE8 has 
some access issues with Web sites using CSS. I notice that the National 
Braille Press just put out a guide for using IE8 with a screen reader, so I 
think a number of issues might be a mater of learning about what basically 
looks like a new interface with a lot of new commands and settings.
