Thank you for this excellent, because practical, feedback. Using lynx seem to me like a great testing choice from what I have read. Props for the extra WML mile. Accessibility to the blind takes yet more effort I guess, but at least your approach gets you near the bull's eye.

With this approach, a11y is pretty simple, because lynx renders 99% of what a screen reader would convey and also supports keyboard shortcuts (one of my favorite WAI ARIA features). If you get all that right, the rest of good a11y is really simple.
