Summary: cgitb tracebacks not accessible

Initial Comment:
The cgitb tracebacks use colour ALONE to highlight
which line caused the exception.  This doesn't show up
on text-only browsers such as Lynx, and it is not
helpful to blind people or those with similar special
needs.  These people have to count the lines, or set
"context" to 1, or look at the HTML source to see the
real traceback in the comments.

It would be most helpful if there were at least an
option to indicate the line that caused the error in
some additional way (as well as the colour), such as by
highlighting it with some punctuation character to the
left of the line number.

(Python 2.2.1 under Debian Woody)
