Posted this to the LyX list, but thought it should be archived here so  
it would be easier to find.

Since pdflatex can't insert .pdf tags (or is there a package for  
this?), you need to certify against pdf/A-1b:

- Open the file in Adobe Acrobat
- Save File As and choose as Format: PDF/A
- choose pdf/a-1b in the pop-up
- quit Acrobat
- re-open the file
- preflight (successfully) as PDF/A-1b

That said, I also posted a message to the dvipdfmx list, hoping to  
stir up some effort in doing this more directly --- does anyone know  
if it's on the radar for luatex?
