Los peligros del uso del tachado y sus soluciones

Muy interesante el análisis presentado en Strikethrough Accessibility:

Strikethrough <s> is an HTML element to indicate text that is crossed out – usually indicated visually with a line through the middle of the text. The W3C definition is:

The s element represents contents that are no longer accurate or no longer relevant.

On e-commerce websites, a strikethrough element is often used to indicate a price is no longer valid and often has a reduced price next to it.

The problem is that most screen readers don’t output the strikethrough semantics. This can be very problematic to the blind user since they won’t know which price is valid. Most in-line semantic elements such as <em> and <mark> are not conveyed to screen readers actually.
