No, but maybe I didn't understand your suggestion which sounded to me as
if you say that there should be a mandatory plain-text README to be
displayed in Emacs plus as many "rich" versions as the package author
wants. However, those wouldn't be displayed in Emacs. Or rather, they
would only be displayed when you find-file them inside ~/.emacs.d/elpa/
which is quite unlikely to happen (unless the README says there are also
alternative versions of the package destription available).

Having to synchronize two identical (wrt. contents) versions of a
document manually, one with markup and one without, is annoying IMO.
