Okay, a note on Dragonstone: the text is readable, but seems to be plaintext, so tabbing to what I assume should be links on the "test" pagedidn't work. Although, I guess that's all I'd really need to know aboutare the links, but if the output could be "webified" by an engine thatOrca knows about, like geko or something to GTK, that'd be all thebetter. The only other issue I found while doing a quick run is that the"settings" button is unlabeled.

I've just got an Idea for clients which can't easily implement
sections in their document rendering [1].
The preformatted block could be reduced to a special "link" with the
alt-text as label (or a placeholder) that, when activated shows a
dialog window containing the content of the preformatted block. One
could then instruct the screenreader to read the content of that
window, if it starts talking gibberish one can simply close that window.
I don't know how well screenreaders would handle this, so feedback
will be appreciated.
Greetings!
