Once decoupled, margins, padding, borders, backgrounds, text effects/variants/transforms will all be formatting side and safe for modification. One decoupled positions and sizes will be safe from formatting changes. Decoupling gets you a lot of stuff, not the least of which is the ability to modify layout and formatting on the client side in generic ways without blowing up the page on the other end.
