hello,

all books for the disabled at most state libraries at least attempt to adhere 
to these guidelines, as they have been particularly successful at making 
materials unavailable rather than available.

one of the stated objectives of the standard is to encourage, or at least 
provide a "friendly" environment for, patented technologies.

i think it is not very attractive to open source developers.
