Tagging a doc to expeort it as a PDF/A-2a / accesible PDF

$

I am looking through the options to tag an ID documento so that it gets exported into PDF —PDF/A-2a to be precise— in the most convenient and accesible way with the help of Acrobat Pro (XI). I see that I can tag things in three ways:

 

- With XML tags with the "tags" palette.

 

- With articles with the "articles" palette.

 

- Assigning PDF tags in the "Paragraph Style" palette.

 

My doubts are:

 

- Do I need to use the three ways? I have seen that with simple InDesign documents I manage to get a valid PDF/A-2a and with a little tweak it passes the needed 508 accesibility test.

 

- Is any of the three ways 'superior' to the other?

 

- Is any one of them superseded by another?

 

- Am I completely lost and I don't need any of this stuff to get a PDF/A-2a or an accesible PDF? (BTW, no, I am not mistakingly taking PDF/A-2a for a wholly accesible PDF, that's another  tale ).

 

Thanks in advance.
