Plugin Request: Page Templates

[alienee2]

I was thinking about a way to deal with pages that have a lot of complex markup, and be able to enable users to edit the relevant areas, without breaking that part of the code that is being hidden by the editor, such as divs, classes, columns, lists, tables etc..

so i propose a plugin where you can define a template in html, and then specify editable areas with some sort of tag; then users would create a page using this 'page template'; and the areas that you have defined as editable would be text areas or maybe wysiwyg;

i think this kind of plugin would be useful and i've only seen something like this on mail marketing sites like campaign monitor...
