That reminds me of WordPerfect codes :-)

Plomino does something along these lines .. You edit richtext and format text
in certain styles. Upon export, the styles turn into this kind of XML:

"""
<p>How many legs ? <span class="plominoFieldClass">legs</span>
</p>
"""

The trick would be to prevent the Editor from messing things up by copying
things, adding line breaks, etc. Making the formatting visible (e.g. dotted box
outline) might help.
