Jonathan, this is splendid. Adding support for the PDF "ActualText" tagging layer is a huge step.
I wonder — what happens in case of mathematical formulae? I think it would be rather clever to embed the TeX notation or even, huh huh, MathML into the ActualText layer for the math mode — per equation, of course :) . Or use the "Unicode math linear format" as proposed by Microsoft: http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn28/UTN28-PlainTextMath-v3.pdf A.
