Indeed. However, this seems like a semantic thing, not a stylistic thing. You wouldn't want the document to only be editable if it was styled, for instance. You'd want it to be editable regardless of what stylesheet was applied. IE invented contentEditable for doing something similar to what you describe, btw.
