Not tagged, and probably won't be. Based on what little I read and what you told me about tagging, the only reason I can think of why it would be useful for the PDF files in question is for text-to-speech--but that would be much better supported by an aural CSS marked XHTML document... which may as well be an ePub.
The part about tagging facilitating conversion and reflowing sounds nice at first, but PDF really is indisputably the wrong format for both of those things even by my reckoning.
For the same reasons that I do not see reflowing Mobipocket and ePub files ever being able to reach typographic "perfection", reflowing PDF files (once reflowed from the originally intended page/font size) can never be better than an attentively produced Mobipocket or ePub.
Will the PDFs be DRM-free? Definitely. If it were not to be so, I would not have been posting unprotected full versions on Mobileread.com.
