Re: Org mode export accessibility

["T.V Raman" <raman@google.com>]

Correct.
1. Org should be the truth, not some export format that is picked
   based on political opinion.

2. Lowest Common denominator in my vocabulary is a "bad word" that LCD
   is something that makes everyone equally unhappy.

   So Take-Away:

   1. Make org the best format for holding the authored content.
      2. Consider all exports to be either modality or use-case
         specific and produce the  best version that that export
         format can support.

         3. But then dont fall into the delusion that the export
            format is the truth --
