Publishers: Why is all your content not accessible?

Summary:
"In order to make a start at providing accessibility, here is my humble advice to publishers:
* Publish your XML – the whole point of XML is to allow creation of new formats easily. So if I pay for an article, give me not only the HTML and the PDF, but the XML too.
* Ensure your XML is correct. Mandate automated XML-first pagination from your suppliers to avoid embarrassing errors like that pointed out above.
* Make sure that your licenses allow third parties to use the XML to create new formats, and even encourage them to do so.
* If you are an OA publisher, please don’t use the ND versions of CC licenses."
