[Blindmath] Somewhat positive yet disappointing press release

[Neil Soiffer]

We are adding new functionality (eg, navigation for math and being able to

Unless JAWS or other AT adds code to their product to take make the
appropriate calls to the new interfaces that get defined, it won't pick up
that new functionality.
