Sounds like a good plan!  Funny - reminds of the *old* typography days.  
Rough copy (manuscript) was edited, then hand coded (boldface, ital, heads, 
text, folios, running heads/feet, etc.).  The typesetters would then set the 
copy based upon the marked code.  They weren't concerned with content - only 
how it looked.

Everything old becomes new again.... :-)
