I have my doubts that a reliable automated system can be made,

For people using the layout engine in iText, it should be trivial to automate the tagging - since you know what is a paragraph, etc. It's only the explicit content features that will require manual tagging.


even Acrobat has problems with PdfMaker in Word.

I've not seen a case of PDFMaker not getting tagging correct. Do you have an example of that?


I also think (I may be
mistaken here) that 99% of the people would be happy with something that
would simply give the right text ordering.

It's certainly a start and definitely better than nothing. Though it's not necessarily PDF/A-1A compliant.


My idea is to give a manual
way to tag and a really simple automated way just to be able to retrieve
the text unambiguously and in the right order.
        Sounds like a great first step!
