This approach seems reasonable to me, but needs review by a genuine AT user.

I've committed these changes, cleaned up a bit more and applied to all necessary files.
The message-bundle issue is now in .

I'd appreciate a review of this approach:
1) Use the WebAIM-recommended approach of placing screen-reader-specific instructions in a div that is off-screen and tiny (http://www.webaim.org/techniques/css/invisiblecontent/#hidingfromsighted).
2) Remove the visible instructions from the tab order so screen-reader users don't hear both sets.
The result is that JAWS users hear screen-reader specific instructions, and sighted users see different instructions.
Problems: This patch doesn't yet deal with internationalization issues - there's the "message-bundle:" id, but now there are two messages, etc.

Bug Parade 0.6 release
Keyboard commands work only with virtual cursor turned off.
With virtual cursor on: Tab into application, Dragonfruit highlighted. Press control + arrow, nothing happens. Press alt + arrow, focus moves to next image. Can only move focus from side to side.
With virtual cursor off (Insert + z): Tab into application, Dragonfruit highlighted. Can move focus up and down and side to side using arrow keys. Control + i, k, m, j enables you to move image up and down and side to side. Control + arrow enables side to side movement only.
Instructions should be revised for screen reader users: "To use the keyboard: Screen reader users turn off virtual cursor (insert + z). Select an image using the arrow keys or i, j, k or m or the arrow keys. Move an image by pressing control + arrow keys. View an image by pressing Enter."
