Well, zillions of people/authors do very nicely thanks with tools like
HotMetal, Author/Editor, Framemaker, Word, to pick on a range of
possibilities. Or do you mean editing style sheets? Different tack,
though again there are examples already in Frame or Word.

This is an interesting philosophical point - what is the future of
LaTeX3? to me, its not about authors at all, but about providing
high-quality tools for document formatting professionals.  Does anyone
share my view of the distinction?

Sorry, not sure if this falls outside the discussion range, or
not.
