Language tagging should be able for some block elements (at least, delimitedtext and probably description).
That should not be too hard, depending on how specific one wants to be. It's more about choices than complexity of implementation.
I guess something like an option `language=nl` in `\startdelimitedtext` would be fine.
At least, there are the following issues here:
1. Too many /P elements for what should be /Span elements. 2. “The Earth Transformed: An Untold Story” is English, not German. 3. /MCID are orphan (they lack their corresponding /StructElem). [...] If it somehow validates then the objectives are probably reached. Which is what much tagging will boil down to in the end.
As Ulrike says, it is easy to trick validation. The problem with the three issues above is that reading aloud that text (many paragraphs into one) and probably English text with German intonation and pronunciation cannot qualify as making it accessible to visually-impaired people.
If accessibility is really important one should just make a stripped own no-fancy-typesetting document alongside. After all, in that case looks don't matter. Of course, but one needs to get everything right even for that stripped-down version (I’m not referring especially to ConTeXt).
