I do not think this is ever going to happen. There is some information
which is _not_ written in .tex, like for example whether a float is
open or collapsed.

Keeping \begin{proof}...\end{proof} is not possible if your article
layout does not support it, anyway... What do you propose.
I think trying to go through .tex to solve such problems is misguided,
anyway.

All layouts which correspond to latex environment will span several
paragraphs. There is not clean way to split such paragraph (and this
is an old problem that drew lots of complaints) in separate
environments. A solution would be to add to paragraph layout a
checkbox 'end layout here', but this is really not an intuitive
solution. This is a real problem we have with our linear description
of layouts.
