This is a very important and good idea.

Could you please amplify your idea a little?   Several publishers
already issue article-classes for specific journals---or for
all the journals they publish;  as I currently work for one of
these publishers (Wiley),  I'd be interested to know more about
the ways in which this sort of service could be improved.
(This is me speaking, not on behalf of Wiley, of course).

I've hoped for a long time that all publishers would accept LaTeX-coded
articles for any journal, to a common classfile so that authors don't
have to change their practices for different journals or publishers.
Is that your general aim?

Regards
