[Athen] this look extremely fascinating ...

[Steve Green via athen-list]

I don't like to be too critical when people put the effort in to create things like this, but I used it to tag a simple 1-page PDF and it did a really horrible job.

I could forgive it for tagging a two-column layout with bold headings as a table. But the columns contained bulleted lists that did not get tagged as lists.

The worst thing was the insane mess it made of a couple of links. There was only one Link tag, but five Link-OBJR tags (there must be the same number of each)! There were four Reference tags nested inside each other (which is invalid) when there shouldn't have been any because the links are external.

This doesn't encourage me to use it again. I can understand it failing to recognise objects correctly, but it really shouldn't be able to produce invalid output.
