The ODF format itself also needed better 
accessibility. So the ODF committee at OASIS 
created an Accessibility subcommittee to tackle 
the issue: 
<http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office-accessibility>.

There are a number OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice 
bugs related to ODF accessibility features, for example:
 * Image title and description that disappear 
after adding a caption in Writer:
   <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32137>
 * Image title and description that disappear 
when you modify the image anchor in Writer
 * Image title and description are not exported 
when exporting PDF from Impress:
   <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34135>

Best regards,
