Aaron,<br>I took care of adding the id easily since I chose to override the entire comment walker with my theme (as wp_list_comments already allows). Something to consider instead of patching to include another filter. I think if the goal is to make WordPress as a whole more accessible, the best choice would be to just add in the id into the default comment walker class' generated reply links.<br>

The read more links can be easily adjusted by doing something like:<br>
the_content('Read the rest of
<em>'.the_title('','',false).'</em> &raquo;');<br>
<br>
However, while the reply link text can be changed, you can't make it
specific to the comment. It seemed like a quick patch was in order,
which I made and posted on trac
(<a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10569" target="_blank">http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10569</a>). Please give it a look,
test it, and comment on trac.<br>

previous reports, I'll get the ball rolling by bringing up one of the
most glaring issues that I've encountered:<br>
Repetetive/non-descriptive link anchors need to be more descriptive and
unique. This applies to comment 'reply' links, 'read more' links, etc.
The current preferred technique is to place excess text into a span and
then use css to make that span 1 pixel and place it outside of the
viewable screen area as describe here: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/C7" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/C7</a><br>
I'm uncertain as to how this would affect the 'reply' situation, should
WordPress Trac ticket #10550 ( <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10550" target="_blank">http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10550</a>
) be resolved by changing the links to form inputs; but as it is now,
this particular case should be resolved by adding comment id #s into
the hidden spans, like <a>reply <span class="hide-me">to
comment #</span></a> or similar.<br>
'Read more' can be supplemented by titles. Any other repetetive /
unclear anchors should also be similarly supplemented to comply with
this guideline. Thoughts?<br>

off, I wish to thank "the powers that be" for responding to my request
for this mailing list.<br>
I believe that by discussing and proposing changes to improve WordPress
accessibility those of us with expertise in this area can make a
significant difference.<br>
<br>
Let's see if we can gather together all reports of accessibility issues
and/or concerns, look at what needs to be done at the code level to
correct these, and get moving on bringing WordPress into ATAG and
WCAG2.0 compliance.<br>
<br>
I'm excited to see this underway!<br>
