Comment (by afercia):

 The only things changed in [attachment:36638.8.patch] are the `assertive`
 parameter for the URL check message and the message string. I'd propose to
 simplify this message and try to describe what actually happened: the link
 was inserted but the URL check returned an error. We can't guarantee the
 link destination is really unreachable (could be temporarily unreachable
 for example) so I'd say to change the "error" in a more relaxed "warning":
 `Warning: the link has been inserted but the link destination cannot be
 reached.`

 The `assertive` parameter should guarantee that even if the "Link
 inserted." message is dispatched before the URL check (and as far as I see
 this can happen depending for example on the time required by the AJAX
 response), anything that is being announced by screen readers int hat
 moment will be interrupted by the warning.
