Whilst the only implementation (^1) of that I've seen, looked workable,
two issues I saw were:
* Confused users, because an unexpected, unfamiliar UI was presented. (^2);
* Users of A11Y tools lost both functionality, and capabilities, due to
the inability to access the relevant triggers;

An example -- even if only mockups --- would be extremely useful here.

Your example uses work-product delivery format. Something originally
written for hard copy, could end up being printed to PDF, or more
exotic, like DAISY.(^3)

The implementation I saw, used document type (Invoice, Memo,
Presentation Report, etc.) When the user can add document types, and
make the appropriate UI modifications, it works.  It totally falls
apart, when one wants to use Draw for the Presentation Report, rather
than Impress, Write, or Calc.

 For example, writter could show text in
> webpage view mode, etc. The reason should been written into document.


^1: Third party add-on that is only available for the commercial vendor
that created it.

^2: In as much as changing the TCIP Classification of a document can
confuse users, an actual change in the UI will confuse users.

^3: Unless things have improved a lot in the last six months, DAISY
support is a lost cause. This is one of those "nice to have" but
"incredibly difficult to develop without a lot of financial backing"
features. (Part of the financial backing is to pay the danegeld.)
