We have something similar to your config option planned for Tears of Polaris, honestly it wasn't something we had originally thought of doing at all. One of our forum members is legally blind, and another partially blind, and they helped us with designing an alternate "screen reader friendly" way to handle space travel.

I would say it's definately something that any MUD should look at doing as there are quite a few people that play through screen readers, and it's also a gaming market that MUDs have an easier time attracting than big graphical games could.
