Basically you want to provide something that mimic the style and some of the constraint of a traditional latex or word forma, but that of course offer something more (at the very list, the possibility to reference URIs and embed some RDFa).

My point was: you crowd-source templates so that even the template 
itself benefits from "many eyes and minds". You can't crowd-source 
effectively without performing said activity in a data space where 
access controls are part of the setup.
