hmm.. i am not communication that much.
when, mostly email, which is text.
here i am starting marking headlines with "===" :)
also there are some RT-documents, partly text, partly html.
if carefull written, i can read text better.

i would publish text too.
so its possible to write comments directly into the document.
then ios works similar to a wikki.
another point is, i am using an editor-extension
which collects "==="-lines in a text-list and finds them in editor on click.
similar to an html-index-frame, but with zero writing-effort.
suddenly using large text is pretty quick.
(unfortunally standalone, not plugged into desktop-editor)
so to me using text not only as source is an valid option.
