Welcome any further enhancement of Emacs as an editor.
However don't think WYSIWG is the right way.

The focus at edit times IMO is quite different from that of final readers.
For example I'd like to see footnotes-anchors better than in document than.

But why not have an  ODF-backend for text-modes, so formats might be stored 
across sessions?
