I think it isn't. "Linguistico" folks have done this (http://linguistico.sourceforge.net/pages/start.html , their dictionary is used by OpenOffice, Firefox etc.) and anyway a list of words is not so useful for Wiktionary, what is needed are definitions.

Well, I understand that a "rough" list of words isn't so useful; but a list of words, anyone linked with a full bibliographic source pointing to the image and text of the original page, perhaps could be of some interest. No matter if it isn't.... simply, I'll not think about any more.
I think Wiktionary does want to include examples of the words 'in use', and Wikisource can provide this.
Linking to Wikisource is encouraged on English Wiktionary. e.g.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/demirep
If you create a list of words used in a book, it would be beneficial to also record how many times each word is used.
