standard text format for legal pleadings feels like it has more of a value prop - for litigants, standardizes the production of documents - for legal researchers, makes it easier to discover / extract what they need (vs current PDF workflow) - for hosting tools like PACER, makes it easier to index references and preview docs. for courts who have to accept e-file, lets them do more auto linting / checking on filings - for people in the judge's office, makes it possible to build summarization tools that simplify reading memos etc
