Comment (by joedolson):

 I wouldn't recommend using ChromeVox as a good basis for testing; it's not
 heavily used as an AT resource. For a free screen reader testing option,
 use NVDA. (See http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey5/)

 I didn't test this using ChromeVox. A user agent should ignore the
 attribute value if the target doesn't exist, so that should be fairly
 harmless.

 NVDA reads this fine, using default settings. Reading of punctuation is
 configurable, so if somebody has less than/gt signs configured to be read,
 that would be different, but they're read understandably normally.
