It will be a big improvement over the current skin. I replied about this earlier on another blog post, and then got some more details from our tech guys: It works very well with screen readers - the primary systems we used for testing this were Jaws for Windows and VoiceOver for Mac. The navigation menus are keyboard-navigable to improve accessibility, and the site will now use skiplinks.
