Duff, actually this is not true as you and I have discussed previously!

There are some shortcomings in regards to accessibility in PDF/UA as it is
currently structured. Those are retention of reading order and pagination
which are necessary components for producing accessible PDF documents. I
find it to be continually problematic that the spokespeople for PDF
accessibility to continue to ignore these inherent flaws in what is
purported to be an "accessible" implementation.
