It's worth mentioning that this is exactly how book publication
works. Indeed, the copy-edit stage is often done on something
with entirely different formatting from the final version
(e.g., double-spaced). The proofreader is then responsible
for ensuring that (1) Each proposed copy-edit change actually
gets handled and (2) No superfluous changes are introduced
in the typesetting/page layout stage. Then there's a final
author approval of the galleys.
