A very good idea.  Please share with us your experience!

In LaTeX the bare bones solution would be \usepackage[a-3b]{pdfx}.
ConTeXt is another option, but I am not very familar with it.  The
documetation for pdfx package (texdoc pdfx if you have TeX installed,
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf otherwise)
contains a good discussion of the possible ways to make your document
tagged.  

Please feel free to post here any problems or blockers you have:  we
will try to help you!
