What's up with that? Firefox, Chrome, and IE are all reasonably accessible and it makes me :( [sadface] when I can't use NVDA or JAWS in the same way.

While this is great for users designers shouldn't rely on <code>:hover</code> to convey information as support is not there in other browsers. If <code>:hover</code> is used also use <code>:active</code> (keeps mobile and Internet Explorer happy) and <code>:focus</code>. Note that <code>:hover</code> is not always handled well by mobile.</blockquote> Hat tip to <a href="http://www.splintered.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Patrick Lauke</a> for pointing this out.
