What would be the advantage for PG in adopting a highly structured master format? Remeber that the main driver for the growth of PG is contributions from volunteers. Without specialised tools to generate the master format, expecting volunteers to produce it would be, to put it mildly, overly optimistic. And remeber that one time contribution isn't the end of it either, texts are often updated and new versions uploaded, so the master format has to remain easy to edit.
