Hi,

we would need some emacspeak expert here...

My take would be:
1. Parse #+LANGUAGE (and other language related keywords that may
eventually exist) to help select
   the reader's intended target audience.
2. Ignore the rest of the keywords as comments
3. Read/parse the document's body.
   - Identify links, images (using and 'alt' tag for the alternative text)
   - Find an adequate way to verbalise tables
   - Find an adequate way to verbalise org-babel output(s)

Doesn't that sound quite like a new exporter?

My .2 cents,/PA
