Go right ahead.

Over the decades I have encountered lots of people who maintained 
information in carefully-structured plaintext files, using judicious 
capitalisation, indenting, and spacing, in some cases long before 
anything like SGML appeared. Some of them would use asterisks for bullet 
points, and numbers for lists. Basically typewriter markup.

But many of them would be long gone; I wish I had had [i]XML around back 
then, when all I could offer was RUNOFF :-)
