Certainly! What I'd love to have is reST as a native storage format (so it can be easily edited outside the GUI with emacs) along with a choice of visual/native editing in the notebook interface. It's just that in switching from visual to native you'd go to reST as the 'raw' format instead of pure html, and the html would be only rendered for visual display. This would also let us produce a pdf of any notebook with the full sphinx machinery: every worksheet could have an optional cell/tab/something to provide the equivalent of conf.py for sphinx docs. Just thinking out loud...
