Thanks Ryan. You're confirming my opinion.
And thanks for catching <Document> rather than <DOC>. Sometimes I get my various tagging languages/syntax flipped.

But to clarify my earlier question:
Do these various container tags -- <DOCUMENT>, <PART>, <ART>, <SECT>, and <DIV> -- have any affect on screen readers and other AT?

They are the container tags specified in the PDF 2008 standard tag set. In my experience, we haven't noticed any screen readers acknowledging them in a document, nor stumbling over them either.

Do they cause problems for AT?
Do they provide any benefits for AT users?
