Issues: (I'd done this previously for WAI). Visual reading order verses text reading order. Top left to bottom right? Do a sort on desc elements using x, y coords. What about a two column class of layout? What about diagrams produced using graphical tools, where elements are added (almost) randomly? The reading order makes little sense then. Unless the document ordering is addressed by the author, the text produced is often more confusing than helpful.
