The most common one leaves the element in the normal flow and uses text-indent with a negative value to move the text. I think they'll be a better way to do this when the readers progress, but it seems to be quite a slow process (and also expensive for people to upgrade) I guess it’s slightly similar to image replacement techniques where you shove the text offscreen and display a background image – the same situation where the content is also required to be available to screenreaders.

It's a shame Jaws (et al, mostly) doesn't honour aural media. BTW, you just re-discovered "off-left", which I think is from Dave Shea. Great minds etc :) I like your use of semantically-correct headings whether or not displayed. It’s a shame Jaws (et al, mostly) doesn’t honour aural media.
