"Is there software for authoring text that doesn't also render text?"

John, there is software for rendering text that doesn't also allow
authoring, such as the Adobe reader, MS Office viewers, or even Web
browsers. If such software uses accessibility APIs sufficiently, then ATs
for people with cognitive disabilities could provide the function.
