 A user reports that the text on bridges.torproject.org is confusing for
 blind users, and users with slow connections / users who block images.

 On bridges.torproject.org, blind users will be hearing a couple of
 references in their screen-readers to ''bridge entries'' and ''bridge
 addresses'':

   * ''As an example, you'll get a bridge entry that looks like the
 following: bridge 141.[etc.]''
   * ''Here are your bridge relays: bridge 60.[etc.]''

 On bridges.html.en, we have an image illustrating how to add a bridge to
 Vidalia:

   * ''Add each bridge address one at a time in the Vidalia Network
 settings page, by pasting it into the 'Add a Bridge' window and then
 clicking the '+' sign. Adding a bridge is pictured below:''

 ... but users will not see the picture and will not know whether to
 include ''bridge'' or not.

 Updating bridges.html.en is easy to do, but can we please do something
 about bridges.tpo as well? Is there a good reason for printing the bridge
 lines with the word ''bridge'' in front of each one?
