Joe, I'm afraid you are losing credibility far too much by presenting
strawman arguments. I was careful in formulating the principle of using
HTML as the accessible format and then using whatever alternate formats
you like. On the other hand, there is _far_ less often any use for PDF
format if the HTML document is properly authored.

Please cool down. And remember that here on Earth, PDF-only documents are
one of the most crucial accessibility problems, no matter how you use PDF.
