That's certainly a key reason: pretty much anyone
will be able to read it, without instruction.

My original reason was that I was submitting papers
to places some of which did not accept LaTeX, while
others did.  By using reST I could produce LaTeX or
HTML as needed.  (This was not quite as clean as I
hoped, since the no-LaTeX outlets generally wanted
Word (I kid you not).  Word's import of HTML left
much to be desired, and at the time the Word writer
for reST had too many missing features.  It was still
better than converting LaTeX however!
