Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

It exists. It's called Content Management Software or sometimes Typesetting software.

Errr....yeah.

That's a bit like saying "My perfect VTT already exists; it's called C." (Which may be an exaggeration, but is along the same spectrum.)

I was imagining something a bit more customized for the task than a general purpose CMS, with context-specific implementations for both the creator and consumers.

Well yea, you do have to setup the styles in the tool, but that's something you do once to establish your trade dress. It's not some big challenge, it's done all the time. Actually you can see the S1000D international standard for an example.

Someone like WotC is big enough to make such an effort reasonable. Heck, I hope they are doing native content conversions and stylings with DDB, but I doubt they are as the FG conversions are still manual.
