I don't think Andrew has done anything to his version of Parchment, so I don't know why it would be any better. @erkyrath did you add any ARIA stuff to it?

[erkyrath]

No.

My site uses an old release of Parchment. I made a few changes to display better as a scrolling document with a header and footer, and I think to simplify the status line. But I didn't specifically invoke ARIA.

(It's this branch: https://github.com/erkyrath/parchment/tree/zarfsite )

Then, it should be because of him using an older version (I don't know JS so I can't browse the source). It reads almost everything. I can't remember when it didn't work.

Since this bug was filed, Zarf actually did an easy fix to Quixe that substantially fixed this bug there. erkyrath/glkote@f938f035

The fix is to add three attributes to the "main" div:

<div
    aria-live="polite"
    aria-atomic="false"
    aria-relevant="additions"
>

Since updating iplayif.com to the latest Quixe, Glulx games now work pretty well in screen readers, but Z-Machine games don't. Adding these attributes to the main element would do the trick.

Thanks @dfabulich!
