I got quite overwhelmed by the reaction on my first post (just asked if anyone knew a tool to implement accessibility to epubs, and wham! a lot of knowledgeable people began making it. You guys are amazing!
Anyway, I think Kevins suggestion of making it a standalone plugin is great, since that will leave anyone to his own decisions on using accessibility tagging or not. And of course it will be a great tool to update old epub3's with these tags too.
On another note, there's been some mentions on the IDPF future standards here and in other fora on MobileRead the last days. But since IDPF doesn't exist anymore, that won't happen. New ebook/epub groups are forming under W3C, but at present I find the W3Cs internet site(s) regarding epublisning rather confusiong, and can't see, in what direction they're going. (This is the subject for another thread, methinks, but have a look at the "obituary" on idpf.org).

Kim
