Have you verified that this will not be an accessibility regression for blind users?

Unfortunately, the current platform we're using isn't very accessible: the \answer{...} blanks aren't converted to speech and don't navigate correctly. The new backend parses some TeX anyway to an AST, and the idea is that we could use that to produce alt text for the math. There's certainly a lot to do.
