HTML or some dedicated XML semantic format is much better for archival. The proofreading work should go in there, not at the LRF stage.

I completely agree with you. The other downside of LRF is that it's Sony Reader specific. I don't know what I'll be reading my eBooks on in 10 years time, but whatever it is it may not be able to read LRF. That's why I always store books in their original format.
Note that BD's "native" format is XML - whenever I work on a book I store that too. Having that, I can generate a wide range of different book formats from it.
