Hi Hans and Mikael,

Thanks for the new module math-goodriddance ! 
Indeed there are many mathematicians who are going to use the \goodriddancemath command, and no doubt they are going to thank you, even if they are very shy to come out.

Moreover this command can be used by people who want to transform the output PDF into an audio file, because for instance the following 

\usemodule[math-goodriddance]
\goodriddancemath

\starttext

\startformula
\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin(x)\dd x = 2.
\stopformula

\stoptext

gives 
integral from 0 to 𝜋 , of sin of 𝑥 d 𝑥 equals 2 

as one can see in the attached output which is very useful for the blind using an audio software.

Best regards: OK

This is still work in progress, some is present and discussed in the manual, and we'll come back to that sometime next month. Given the next item, we also might need to change some in the manual (different focus).

We're not interested in the (commercial) big money aspects (of pdf and tagging) nor in the politics behind it (changes over time). What are the demands, so that we can see how to make it work or just work around it (as it's kind of boring to cook uyp complex features	, esp compared to playing with metapost).
