Yes, I completely understand the need to make this
work in regular LaTeX documents.  But I don't see a
good way right now to tag paragraphs automatically.
That seems the biggest sticking point: if you can
solve this, it will be great!

(I have been trying to use tagpdf to make a book
I'm working on accessible, and this is the biggest
stumbling block.  I don't want to go back through
the whole book inserting special environments
around every paragraph!)
