OTOH, TeX does know the structure of the page (what comes before what,
etc.)  In LaTeX, even more of the structure is in the source file, so
it seems plausible that a macro package could pass this info into the
PDF file so that small devices can reflow (and it's accessible to
screen readers and such) but you can get a nicely typeset output, too.
