I don't think this is right. 

first there is no such word processor, so you can't know what the writers 
would like to do, 

second one can't simply type tags in a word processor because the full power 
of most of them is unusable in pure text mode.

most word processors are largely exchangeables as of they use (abiword, 
openoffice, koffice don't need real learning as do emacs or vi)

writing technical documentation without images, tabulars or others objects is 
really a challenge and will, with the time, less and less usefull. and so the 
need of power tools.

anyway LDP must keep promoting a file format, not a word processor.
