pdftex and other usual tools to convert from .tex to .pdf 
do not validate PDF/A, as Karl said.

Here are some information on how to make a .tex that will
validate:

http://support.river-valley.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_PDF/A_compliant_PDFs_from_pdftex

I'm not in favor of importing this machinery into our LaTeX
exporter.

Hope this helps anyway,
