I think this would be great. But I think it's difficult to achieve. To make 
it work you could create extra markup (that gets removed on save) for 
display. But the user will probably be able to edit those extra markup.

With markup I mean something like <span class="RTE">¶</span>.

Perhaps it is possible to have non-editable parts within an editable area. 
Have a look at the HTML/JS/DOM-docs to see if it is possible.
