Questions about the distant future and FSFE/FSF's overall focus aside (given that government web sites are always a good few years behind the cutting edge), I think this is a very sensible little campaign. A bunch of free software hackers talking about OGG Theora and HTML5 is frankly not going to budge the remaining 99.9% of the world one centimetre away from sharing documents in the PDF format. Lots of government agencies are familiar with supply RTF rather than DOC files, and consider PDF to be another good accessible format. They will understand this campaign, and they might be sympathetic to pointing at the freepdfreaders web site. Get some decent content up on the freepdfreaders web site addressing issues like PDF forms and accessibility, and you have a nice baby steps campaign ready to roll.
