IMHO what is really complicated is, the last step of digitalization (OCR
review + formatting), it's almost impossible to simplify what is
intrinsically complex. Do you know the Distributed Proofreaders approach to
split such an intrinsic complexity into many steps?

Nevertheless, there's a wide range of complexity - some text  being very
simple (i.e. novels), other being extremely difficult (ancient books,
theatre, scientific textbooks); perhaps the degree of complexity could be
evaluated and explicitely stated, both by automatic scripts (page length +
no. of templates + no. of unicode,  non-ASCII characters....) and by expert
users.

BGB should be used in very simple texts only.
