I don't know how this would be possible. The org-mode keymap would
take over, no key from the current major mode would keep working.
Orgtbl used a rather complicated trick to function in tables while
leaving things to the major mode outside tables. I don't see how a
similar trick could work for the whole file.
One could construct a restricted minor mode with some functionality -
what stuff should be in there?

come up with.
