At the very least, a cursor should be displayable on request
(i.e. via 
F7, the 'caret browsing' key), so that blind users can read
these 
multi-line text fields.  The presence of a text cursor makes
reading 
these multiline fields practical for blind users.

In many apps including Firefox/mozilla, F7 toggles a visible
onscreen 
text caret in readonly text (for instance in an HTML page),
for this 
purpose.
