I'm uncomfortable with prerequisites. Adding post conditions would

it's difficult to invent, hard to maintain, and usually not quite
exactly right for most users.

hmm, isn't that just a question of granularity ? I share your worries, but I think if these elements (prerequisite and postcondition) are unstructured (and untyped), not much harm is done (to the document type) and a lot is gained.
