Didn't I hear somewhere that HTML5 isn't likely to be a default until
around 2025 ?

Certain chrome and opera don't have decent screenreader support no.
Firefox 4.0 is currently in beta. The only one I wasn't sure about was
the degree of html5 support in firefox 3.7 hence my tentative statement.
Doesn't though alter the reality which is that although html5 is very
definitely a welcome development for accessibility of multi media
content it's going to bequite some time before we can reasonably expect
appropriate assistive technology, and and a supporting web brwser to be
the default for the majority.

Are any of the following stable releases of browsers compatible with
screen-readers? They all support native html5 audio.
Safari supports: mp3
Opera and Firefox have done a Steve Jobs and only support ogg Google
Chrome is the winner with support for both mp3 and ogg
The only current major browser I know which doesn't support html5 audio
is IE8, but it's coming in IE9.
