Description

Excuse me for my bad English.

I have installed event.module and it works well, but there are problems of accessibility for blind people.

"Do not use the same link phrase more than once when the links point to different URLs.":
event/2007/06/01/month/all/all/ ; event/2007/08/01/month/all/all/.

"Provide a summary for tables".
This is important because the screereader reads for blind people the description of the chart.

"Separate adjacent links with more than whitespace. ": event/2007/07/20/month; event/2007/08/01/month/all/all/1
It needs to separate adjacent links with the character pipes "| ". This tells the blind person that follows another adjacent link to a link and this doesn't send in confusion old screen reader. Unfortunately not all can purchase new screen reader.

Can you help me to resolve the problems?
Thanks to all for the endless patience, but they are important problems.

Some more info is over here:

#485146: Block calendar fails WAI Priority 3 validation

I'd really like to make event module more accessible, but I need some help.

1) Not all reported issues are clear

2) Solutions need to be found that don't make the layout explode or plain ugly.
