Sorry, I understood that if the reading order where programatically
determinable that I'd see it reflected possitively in apps which take
that approach.

I'm not sure what you mean. I believe that Adobe has done this with PDF
and with Flash -- if you experience issues with the reading order for a
document or application in either of these formats it is _because_ the
reading order can be programmatically determined that you are able to
make that determination. You may not like the reading order that is
provided, but this is an issue with the document or application, not the
format.

This is the exact point that this standard is attempting to address, I
believe.
