Assuming the proofers are the ones who are supposed to provide the text encoded in the master
format, we may have more to talk about. If your position is only that a master format can be provided
with sufficient coverage and precision to generate multiple final formats, I'm sure that's true. That leaves
one important gap in the process, however.

No, I don't realize that at all.

I believe that these kind of markup rules can easily be reduced to a set of simple instructions, and I'm quite confident that your average volunteer is completely capable of following simple instructions.

In any case, it's not my problem. /My/ problem is developing a simple, effective, and powerful way of marking text for use as a master format. /You/ are the one that want's to build a proofing system.

That's a great goal. Good luck with it.
