Having more than one master format per book does not make sense. Decide which format is best for that book and stick to it. Every typo should have exactly one location that needs fixing.
In principal I agree. In practice, we often have 2 (HTML + text). I don't think it's is very burdensome to edit 2 files rather than 1.
The way forward should be to make it simpler on the WWers than before. If we'd have multiple masters per book, a mantainer would need to learn all master formats, and in the end we'd probably lose sync between them. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
