This isn't working for me on mobile, gives a failed download of 0kb.
If as irickt says this refers to http://plain-text.co http://plain-text.co then I'd say I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment. Leverage the tools that are battle tested: plain text and version control.
Of course, it's an uphill battle. If your boss expects to add track-change comments to a Word .docx then your pristine text-based processes are going to get tarnished.
Personally I've been experimenting with github.com + gitbook.com for generation of book-like documents. I tried a hand-rolled toolchain based around pandoc but realised that i could write plugins for gitbook, with far more reliability.
I'll have reached the holy grail when editors submit pull requests instead of track-changes Word docs attached to emails. I expect this to never happen.
