Open Stack

I can totally see the logic in the suggestion. But, unfortunately I
don't think there's any way to avoid the fact that the website is the
best format for public viewing of the legal documents, while
LibreOffice/Word is the best format for legal/community review and
voting on changes.

Diff tools at least make it straightforward to compare the two formats
and make sure we keep them in sync. (The real magic would be keeping a
master copy in markdown or some other general markup language, and
generating HTML/ODF/PDF from the master, but that's almost certainly
overkill.)
