I was thinking that XML files must be accessible but also stuctured
for the purpose to deliver txt information.

It is necessary to separate this discussion from "how do I make PDF accessible?"

Hello
I am trying to work out whether a Rich Text File is considered accessible,
to the extent that Australian federal government agencies must provide
electronic documents in an accessible format.
RTF is owned by Microsoft, but most word processors can read it.
Apparently
if styles are used correctly, RTF files can be used well by screen
readers.
Also, section 2.3 of the World Wide Web Access: Disability Discrimination
Act Advisory Notes (from 2002, mind you) on the Human Rights and Equal
Opportunity Commission website (http://
hreoc.gov.au/disability_rights/standards/www_3/www_3.html) suggests that
RTF is considered acceptable.
Any views?
