Hello everyone,
Our organization is looking into this new AMP thing from Google - https://www.ampproject.org/docs/get_started/about-amp.html
Briefly, the HTML is described as:
"AMP HTML is a subset of HTML for authoring content pages such as news articles in a way that guarantees certain baseline performance characteristics."

I was asked about the accessibility of AMP, and since it's so new, I haven't found much. However, with specific AMP tags like amp-img and amp-embed and others, I would not expect any screen readers to have any support for these at this time.

Anyone have any thoughts or input on this??
Thanks!!
