I think it has problems. One case is where the author composes in HTML,
and uses colors, emphasis, etc. to make his points, and those are
stripped out of the plain text version, thereby distorting the author's
intent.

(I also think that if one must use colors, emphasis, etc. as part of
one's writing, then one is not a very good writer. On the other
tentacle, one should not expect good writing from nerds.)
