I think there is room for some niftiness here. When working with a document in what you call the surface expression, then it would be nice, if a command toggle would show what you call the deep representation of a paragraph (a block box) or a region. Then you could make changes to that and issue the command again to get the updated surface representation. This would extent the editing model of `preview-latex' to file formats like HTML. With the difference that the "surface expression" is not just a preview, but also editable, just by different means. This is just an idea that has sprung to my mind one day. I have not pursued this thought. There might be problems, I don't know.
