Editable Format

Hi All,

This is in relation to text-based content only (documentation, books, 
articles, etc). I was wondering if anyone has thought about including an 
additional clause for text-based documents requiring that an editable, 
or 'transparaent', copy be made available. That is, a sort of 'source 
code' of the document, a raw-text version. This prevents people from 
publishing content in difficult-to-read forms, which make it hard to 
extract content and modify it for your own purposes, e.g. PDF.

The GNU FDL (http://www.fsf.org/licnesnse/fdl.html) has a provision for 
this, but I would quite like to see one for the Creative Commons Licenses.

Would this be possible?

TIA...
