Re: Accessible Documents - PDF vs. HTML

Are you kidding?

In all politeness, this is a completely unacceptable approach for most users. You are implying that one would have to learn to write HTML syntax (and if one would want to go beyond barebones presentation, CSS for styling etc., and then probably also the occiasonal ARIA attribute here and there). Can you envision any average Word user doing that? Most Word users are already struggling when someone asks them to use styles (as opposed to local formatting).

Or am I missing something?

Please come up with something more realistic.
