If someone wants to make a very detailed copy-editing, it would be
an advantage if I send them my original text in Microsoft Word format,
and you edit that one and not the plain text version. Then I will not
have to manually move all changes back to my original.

There can also be an advantage with a non-English native as writer
of a standard. Such a person will tend to avoid unusual or complex
expressions and use a simpler language. One thing I like about IETF
standards compared to OSI standards is the simpler and more direct
language.
