Consistence is also a usability issue but a cognitive accessibility issue - currently pretty much any username or community name in the site comes in a certain format, and we're breaking that. It's not a small change, cognitively, but I'm not sure if it would be an issue for people or not...

One thing that comes to mind is to change the language so that the drop down and/or username come at the end of the label. For example "Someone comments in dw_accessibility, on any entry" could easily be "Someone comments on any entry in dw_accessibility". If the "different" bits are at the end of the label it avoids the problem of splitting up the label and makes most of it clickable. Would that be a solution that would be workable??
