Perhaps something like a striped down version of DocBook or some other only structural base format. If a good number of input and output formats are provided at release, does anyone care what format the program "thinks in" is?
A canonical format shouldn't be lossy (ie, epub -- or whatever -- should be a superset of every supported format). Beyond that, there's no reason to care: epub just becomes another supported format.
