Reasons to Structure

No one has mentioned the potential for greatly
improving writer productivity, as well as eliminating
format overrides. 

Once authors are up to speed on using the structure
view and the element catalog, they're freed from the
entire formatting burden (if the EDD specifies
context-based format rules). I see no reason why this
productivity advantage would diminish for relatively
small documents.

And, unlike unstructured Frame, re-importing the EDD
into a structured document with "Remove Format
Overrides" turned on will eliminate every single
instance in which authors overrode the EDD-specified
formatting. When authors realize this step is part of
the review process, they know the jig is up.
