I remember when we tried to make a partnership with a scholar who works
with ancient texts.
He needed some Italian translation of Greek texts in Wikisource, but he was
much more interested in validated/proofread text *without* formatting, than
the contrary.
75% for us is formatted, always.
But, arguably, for people it's easier to correct typos and proofread than
format with strange templates and codes. We always assume that people know
how Wikisource works, how wikicode works, etc.

A brand new quality workflow could be beneficial.
