Back in January when I started looking
into Atom and accessibility the following exchange took place:



JS: Despite requirements for the use
of atom:title, atom:summary and atom:content, it is possible for an entry
to contain zero human-readable text

BS: there are Atom applications where
entries are meant to be consumed only by software. An annotation that indicates

"this is not intended to be read by people" would be an accessibility
improvement for such documents.



Is there a use case where an end user
would actually encounter such entries?  If an end user would never
encounter these kinds of entries it probably isn't useful to have the annotation.
 Is such content ever transformed to a format readable by the end
user?  Hopefully the transformation process would create accessible
content.

That would be extremely difficult to say one way or the
other.  I doubt 
that such an annotation would be useful.
