<video>, certainly, but that's probably not what he meant. If doing
complicated layout things with HTML 5 and CSS 3 becomes easier, more people
will do them. Complicated layouts probably won't be anywhere near coherent to
blind folks if they're not designed well. Also, most of my notes on HTML 5
here have something about "JS required to use this new feature", and I'd guess
that JS and screen readers could interact in stupid and non-useful ways.
I'm just waiting for someone to use <canvas> and JS to re-implement the
<blink> tag. Oh, the aesthetic horribleness!
