There are a number of possibilities:

- Provide different locations for content management and content
    consumption. Many of our customers already do this.

- If rendering simply decorates content, then PUT could extract the
    undecorated content.  This has a number of problems, especially
    if toy can't make the decorations uneditable. A more sophisticated
    variation on this these would be to work with tools like the Bitflux
    editor.

- Use a source port. :) Note that this is really a variation on the
    first bullet above.
