Recently, someone has told me that out of the many existing TeX to PDF 
converters out there, there doesn't seem to be such one that would be 
able to label the math expressions with corresponding alternative text 
in the PDF document. Sadly, I'm unable to verify whether this is indeed 
the case or whether labeling graphics with alternative text is somehow 
problematic in PDF documents. If alternative text is no problem in 
formats like HTML, then I have no idea why it should be a problem in 
PDF. And if it is not a question of issues with alternative text itself, 
then I wonder why the converters can't use it for labeling the math 
expressions properly (which are actually stored as graphics). Honestly, 
I'd love to know myself what the answer to the question is but I don't 
know anyone who knows enough both about the actual PDF format and about 
the available TeX to PDF converters and who could indeed give me the answer.
