 I have now tested the first patch on paginate_links() and unfortunately
 the patch doesn't quite do what I wanted it to do.

 The before and after text is added, but outside the actual link. For
 example I've set the before text to 'before ' and the after text to '
 after' and the end result for each link is:


 {{{
 before <a class='page-numbers'
 href='http://url/?page_id=18&paged=3'>3</a> after
 }}}

 In order to add the extra context text for screen readers the extra text
 needs to be inside the link - like this:

 {{{
 <a class='page-numbers' href='http://url/?page_id=18&paged=3'>before
 3 after</a>
 }}}

 Looking at the patch I think that should be fairly easy to rectify. I
 currently don't have the knowledge to create new patches (still learning)
 but it would be great if someone could just modify that first patch so I
 could give it another try.

 So far I haven't done any testing on the comments pagination patch. I'll
 have to work out how to test that one.
