Draft content for the section in the appendix titled: "Understanding Screen Reader Document Reading and Application Reading Modes"

The placeholder is at: http://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/#ScreenReaderModes

I found this article by Leonie Watson helpful: http://tink.uk/understanding-screen-reader-interaction-modes/ Maybe she would be willing to help draft this appendix section?

I also found that the description of VoiceOver's non-modal approach in this article was helpful in explaining the modes in the Windows screen readers: http://webaim.org/blog/three-things-voiceover/

May I suggest this? https://disic.github.io/guide-lecteurs_ecran/ It's a document meant to help people who are new to screen readers and wish to use one to test interactive components. It's provided freely, under an open license, as a companion resource for the French official web accessibility guidelines. It describes how to configure JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver to test, the different reading modes (https://disic.github.io/guide-lecteurs_ecran/restitution.html), and provides testing guidance for some ARIA based components, complete with examples of code and restitution. It's in French, but certainly worth the translation effort, IMHO.

@OlivierNourry, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I can't assess fit without a translation. It does sound larger and more detailed than what I envisioned as necessary for this section of the authoring practices though.

With commit 37ada7f, removed links to the placeholder for this section and removed the placeholder. Postponing this work to release 2.
