People associate the layout with the meaning. If people don't want tags to 
show, I think that a user interface would have to ensure that the only way 
a user could get things to display properly would be to create the right 
XML structures. In other words, allow "styles", which are a visual analog 
to the XML elements being used, but don't allow direct use of fonts.

But that's only a start....
