So it is possible save a new document as .txt but it is not
immediately obvious how to do so.

I just opened a blank document, typed some text, chose "Save" and got
the Save ***. The drop down menu is titled "Plain Text Encoding", and
there is a checkbox that says "If no extension is provided, use '.txt'."

I can't see how more obvious it can be.

The secret is in Preferences. The first option in the "New Document"
tab is to choose "Rich text" or "Plain text" via a pair of radio buttons.

The fact that you call it a secret says a lot about just how obvious it
really is. ; ) There shouldn't be a freaking preference, if you ask
me. Apple should allow users to save in whatever format they want
without having to go into Preferences and toggle a setting.
