Glen, it gives some interesting info about how reading order in Word and
InDesign is determined, but they don't get into the weeds of the Tag Panel,
Content Panel and TURO. And they mainly talk about changing the source
document.

The reality of my business is that my clients have their own clients who
are mostly large bureaucracies and in order to change a source document,
they have to have a zillion meetings with their client and jump through so
many hoops. So it's often the case that my clients do not have the ability
to change the originals around to make them more accessible. And I'm on the
very end of this process, so I have zero ability to change the source in
any sort of fundamental way. The upside of that is that I've become skilled
at fixing very complex pdf problems over the past decade.

Btw, my favorite go-to person over the years has been Bevi Chagnon! I don't
know her, but she has helped me when no one else could quite a few times.
