Mike, readers can be (and are) amde for many features. In most cases they rely on decent structure being present in the page they are trying to render, which is a constant problem. Another problem is to get such tools deployed. The User Agent Guidelines Working Group and the Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group deal extensivley with how to read what is out there, and The Authoring Tool Guidelines Working Group deals with the question of how to get the tools that are used to put content out there to make sure that it is the sort of structured, valid content that is necessary for such readers to work.
