I notice that the Draft Layout (I would call it Draft Text mode) on the wiki
page says "NO formatting."

That needs to be clarified.  lists/paragraphing/numbering and separations
(i.e., breaks as represented by horizontal rules) are obviously preserved
enough as are layout features that don't change straightforward flow of the
textual material.  Font and emphasis (italic, bolding, underlining, etc) and
sub-/super-scripts and that sort of thing matters for many writers.  Of course,
the author gets to decide how much of this they want to use and when they want
to work on getting breaks where they want, controlling paragraph rules, etc.

Using a multi-page, mostly two-column report of mine, I opened it in Microsoft
Office Word 2013 and changed the view to Draft mode (what it is called now,
something I had not noticed).  That preserves the formatting at the paragraph
level and shows where breaks are.  Some of the framed figures don't show
though.  I can see what footnote text is when I mouse over the footnote symbol
where the footnote is referenced, but I'm not sure how to edit it.  

So is this too much formatting or is it no problem because it is elective to
use it?

(I opened the same document in Windows WordPad and the result was completely
unusable.)
