Dear list,

I am beginning to see increasing need for PDF/UA (ISO 14289) files. Earlier 
this year, the US Access Board announced an update to the rules for the 
accessibility of electronic documents produced by the government that embraces 
the standard, which I expect will make it much more prominent.

XeTeX cannot produce PDF/UA, and it seems unlikely that it ever will, but 
unless I am misreading the documentation it appears that ConTeXt has already 
implemented the necessary functionality. If this is so, it would be helpful to 
have a page discussing its use in parallel to 
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A>, and I would even suggest making PDF/UA 
the default for documents that do not have conflicting commands. The PDF 
Association seems to be pushing this as the future of the format; if this is 
so, this is an opportunity to bring ConTeXt to much greater prominence.

All best,
