sure it can.  You can save it in any number of ways using java, perl, c or
whatever
It can be stored in a DB to regenerate the page again later, or to a static
html file, or to XML, or ???

I have made one. I have a MS IE5.5 based WYSIWIG content management tool.
The author-user can navigate a site and edit HTML content inline (in
addition to other things). They can then save  it back to the server as XML.
They can then restyle the XML into another medium or simply another look.
The author-editors I have shown this to are drooling.

best,
