David - do you mean that plain text is rendered better by software (such as 
screen readers)?

This statement confirms, however Patrick's statement that there should be a 
choice.  Although maybe that should be choices.

There are, of course, two issues at stake here:
1) the delivery medium:
   1a) Picked up by client (Web)
   1b) Delivered to client (email)
2) the document format:
   2a) Plain text
   2b) (X)HTML
   2c) PDF
   2d) etcetera...

So, we should really be offering of what we want to receive and how we want to 
receive it.
