Thanks for the proposal! I'll see into it.

The problem with Plain Text is that I don't have a converter to transform for
instance diacritics into TeX commands, or titles into real LaTeX titles. It
means that for them I'd have to do the conversion by hand, which means it takes
a bit more time. So unless someone is ready to do a Plain Text to LaTeX
conversion when needed, I don't advise to send me Plain Text files (you can do
it, but then make sure that you send them in advance, even compared to the
deadline :)) ).

No, I've indeed seen the problem. Already people have proposed: "The
International Journal for Language Construction" (which in fact was my very
first proposal :)) ). At least there the ambiguity is gone :) .
