Description
Each multiple-choice quiz question contains text like this: "Marks: --/1"
Why it matters
To a sighted user this likely means, "You've not yet received a score for this question, and one point is possible." A screen reader user hears, "Marks colon dash dash slash one." This is difficult to understand.
Possible solution
If a question has not been attempted, do not show this text. If a question has been attempted, explicitly state the result: "Marks received: 1 of a possible 1."

Activity
I have a nice solution to this in my question engine rewrite, which will probably now only go into Moodle 2.1.
Therefore, I am disinclined to try to change this in Moodle 2.0, so reassigning.
I think we should show this even before the question is attempted. For example, most exam papers I have ever done have had an indication of the marks available like [4] by each question.
Note that in Moodle, this text appears on the left, under the question number.
My suggestion is (I think brevity is important): before the question is graded is says:
Marked out of 1.00
and after the question has been graded
Marks 0.75 out of 1.00
By the way, how do screen readers cope with decimal numbers like 0.75?
