It's an open question which one is better (I prefer the AbiWord implementation, personally): but the fact remains that you can't map one representation onto another seamlessly (from abw->sxw, you have to keep track of margin state, and set it for each paragraph, from sxw->abw, you have to keep track of margin state, and create a new section whenever it changes).
Excellent point, thanks.
