The major issue is making knowledge of rst and sphinx a requirement for submitting a PEP. I suggest making sure that PEP 1 exemplifies the preferred usage of rst in PEPs and then suggesting using it as model.

A related issue is plain text for posting. Initial pre-drafts can be posted to python-ideas before being marked up. Other than copying the browser display of the .html conversion (which requires a bit of cleanup after pasting), what is the easiest way to get post-markup plain text?

I don't understand the question: isn't the whole point of reST that it's a easily readable markup language? Just post the reST!
