Yes, preferably the text should be write protected and somehow marked 
internally, so that the plugin knows what it wrote where when it updates the 
data. On request, the user should be able to remove the write protection. At 
that point, the plugin would relinquish the responsibility for the text, and 
the user would take over. In case the plugin is not available, the write 
protection could be removed automatically (in order to make this transparent 
to the user who loads a document that somebody else prepared).

I don't know if the rich text engine supports this, though. David?
