Greg,
You are correct and you have put this very well. Please send a copy
of that message to Apple.

I have found the following bug in the address book with VoiceOver:
Field types are not voiced. When you navigate over a field the
information expected is not voiced. For example in the Email field
you will hear Work, Edit text blank but not the fact that the edit
text field is expecting an email address. How would a blind person
know what this field expected for content? This is true with all
fields that have visual but not audible indications of the type of
information expected.
Inconsistent voicing of text being entered. In a phone field for
example it is common that VoiceOver will not voice the first number
entered. Sometimes it fails to voice other letters or numbers.
