Explicit Comment Heirarchy Indicators

I'm still hoping to have a style where the heirarchy of comments is shown explicitly through printing characters as well as/instead of through indents.

Initially discussed here at this thread, then extensively discussed over at dw_suggestions on this thread.

I lack the CSS skills to make it happen, but thought this might be an answer: If the ECHIs are shown in a fixed-width font, they could serve as both indents (if the font = background) and indicators (if the font = visible).

This isn't on the "accessibility" bugs list. The current DW interface prevents audio and large-print users from knowing which thread a comment is in. Initially I raised it as a universal design issue; I do think it's an access issue as well. Any advice on my best next step?
