Comment:

 This will not be done for 0.6p2.

 Currently, announcement of same page links is quite difficult to implement
 because Firefox does not provide an easy way for us to do this.

 Also, consider the fact that most users who do not use a screen reader
 actually can't differentiate between different types of links without
 looking at the URL, unless the site marks them in some way. If a site uses
 a graphic to denote external links, this should be obvious to a screen
 reader user also. As far as I know, same page links, mailto links, etc. do
 not look any different to any other link unless they are styled
 differently.
