You surprise me ;)

But you could make some very simple vocabularies that would be useful, like
auto paragraphs, auto BRs, maybe things like !!this is strong!!, who knows,
people have to start playing with it and come up with what is appropriate
to them.
I still want to be able to have editors accessing link and image glossaries
and the like in their content, and simple stuff like strong and emphasis,
so I am still aiming to make this work in normal forms.
