How would you feel if you bought a DVD that only worked in Region 5 without being labeled as such, and your Region 1 DVD player refused to play it? You would feel cheated. You paid money for something you can not use that you would not have paid had it been properly labeled so that you know you could not use it.
It is the same way with accessibility standards. If your content does not conform to specified standards and you fail to label it as such resulting in a purchase from someone who can not use it because it did not meet those standards without being labeled as such, you are potentially opening yourself up to a lawsuit.

When I buy something on BR (I don't buy DVD), it says in the description what the region is. You meta tag won't tell me what the accessibility is and neither will the description unless you put it in the description. I've not see a listing for an eBook give the level of accessibility. So you'd have to put it in as part of the description. I'm not saying there aren't any programs that will read this meta tag. But most used programs won't display it. Do you know of any program(s) that will show the information in this meta tag?
