Google Documents and WordPress

My dissertation post is here. When I edit the document at Google Documents and republish, it overwrites the post, so any explanatory text or tags are lost. One thing that is a little annoying is how it tries to take over the right-click context menu. I end up with the Google Document right-click menu opening up, with the Firefox context menu on top of it, obscuring the top half of the google menu.

I would have thought Google would have known better than to try to subvert such an important browser function. Bad Google, Bad!

The good: revision control, easy collaboration, seamless output to many formats, rich editing features.
The bad: post metadata isn’t preserved, non-standard browser UI, no way(I know of) to put the post on a separate page.

Maybe I could get the best of both by sticking the RSS feed of revisions on a separate WP page.
