    Hi Giuseppe,
    The DocBook developers are interested in making DocBook output more accessible. If you
    manage to create customizations that improve accessibility and are willing to share
    them, I could incorporate the changes into the base stylesheets for future releases.
    Any changes that appear to not be backwards compatible I would probably control with a
    new stylesheet parameter ($maximize.accessibility or something ).

    Hi Bob,
    nice to know someone else is interested in accessibility.

    What scares me about a new customization layer is the scale of the
    whole thing. I strongly suspect I'll have some big surprise down the
    road, so I confess I am thinking about some python postprocessing
    hacking on already created epub files.

    In this project we have to make accessible epubs starting from a very
    disparate base of already made epub (and a lot of them!), only a few
    coming from a docbook toolchain (and I do already have some python
    code for massaging epub files).

    On the other hand, having an accessible xslt of some sort for DB is
    something that intrigue me. If I'll at the end follow also a
    customization layer I'll certainly be willing to share the results,
    whatever they will be. Time will tell.

    In the meantime, other interested in the subject could contact me
    off-list to see if there is some joint effort potential?

    Thanks,

    I had to support accessibility requirements in the XHTML output in the
    webhelp format. I found that the table cell customizations were the
    most complicated.

    I posted the XSL customization I use in the DocBook cookbook here:
