 > This is a monster trac at this point

 ;-) Sorry, I take responsibility for that.  I'm still learning how to use
 Trac effectively.

 > From the standpoint of a blind person, how would I be moving this item
 and know where I'm moving it? ... Whereas, for instance, ordering items in
 the accessibility mode of the widget screen relies on numbers to delineate
 where the widgets would be.

 The only thing I've done is make it possible to rearrange the menu items
 via the keyboard (vs. requiring users to drag and drop menu items with a
 mouse).  As you've pointed out, this improves accessibility for some
 users, but not all.  To be honest, this is the first I've seen/heard of
 the accessibility mode in widgets.

 For full disclosure, I'm really a novice when it comes to accessibility
 design.  With that said, I'm eager to help where I can, so I appreciate
 your bringing this to my attention.  A couple of questions:

 - If I set you up with a sandbox for testing with the latest
 (23119.25.diff​) patch applied, would you be wiling to make a list of all
 of the remaining in-accessible elements on the menu screen?
 - In the widgets accessibility mode, is going to a new screen to re-assign
 order helpful in that it removes other distractions, or was it just coded
 up that way?
