I've just got an Idea for clients which can't easily implement sections in their document rendering [1].The preformatted block could be reduced to a special "link" with the alt-text as label (or a placeholder) that, when activated shows a dialog window containing the content of the preformatted block. One could then instruct the screenreader to read the content of that window, if it starts talking gibberish one can simply close that window.

I don't know how well screenreaders would handle this, so feedback will be appreciated.

Greetings!- Baschdel

[1] i.e. clients that use the Gtk TextView (Castor and Dragonstone (my client))
