Some experience with low vision / blind users, I'd agree, since screen
readers will target mainstream browsers.

So perhaps the question might be, how to configure x-windows to
target a null device?
   Or add a super cheap display -
Working 10 years with blind users, I never saw one *without* a screen,
which may be indicative? Or may just point to standard installations
with reader added?
