Suggestion.
Markup in XML.
XSLT to HTML, strict 4 dtd. 
(optional) to HTML targetted at HPR and Webspeak,
though I know they are good with good html.
XSLT to plain ASCII for braille displays, with good para and line breaks.
XSL to pdf for good print.
Validate with whatever in the DTD of choice.

First time I've heard a statement of intent for
multi media output on WAI. We are getting there.
