I started writing a semantic writing tool that added text in blocks. Each of those blocks had a defined purposes and generated the html separate from that. It stored the end result as object oriented code and as html so the underlying html code could be updated without the user being any the wiser. I was writing it to form part of my own CMS but I shelved it. There's a demo of the writer on my website though and anyone is welcome to take the code.
