David, I think your concern is that some developers may provide a source view and say that it is the accessible view of the document, especially for making alternative equivalents available to the user. We have a requirement that all viewports be accessible and that alternative equivalents be available through any view that shows primary content. So even through they may provide a source view, they need to make other views accessible to conform to the UAAG.
