I wouldn't see why that would be a problem. It seems like an odd way to go about doing it, but, if the document is properly formed HTML, Contribute should be able to edit it. I know of a site that does the opposite. Because of various sundry Contribute bugs and issues, the developers decided to build vanilla pages that the end users could edit without disturbing the live site. They use ColdFusion to parse the Contribute generated pages, extracting the content from the editable regions and inserting it into the database.
