Probably few. Maybe the formatting conventions since I suspect they may 
be different in the print edition.

I believe the online/print markup will be limited and applied to 
upper-level elements like sect1 and won't normally escalated down to 
finer-grained markup. The separation in files is a good idea.

As for the version-specific markup, it would affect more parts but this 
is something that we have talked about for a long time. It wouldn't be 
just a support for the print edition but a desired feature.
