It feels to me like this should be possible because syntax highlighting 
mixes colors.  I am woefully inadequate to help, but I feel like 
mentioning this might spark a guru's imagination.

I remember years ago when I used Notepad++ on Windows it allowed 
user-defined syntax highlighting, and I did so for my GTD system at that 
time.  I have no doubt one could create a personal syntax highlighting 
scheme in Emacs, but (how(me(ask(don't)))! <--- I'm sure that's absurd, 
but hopefully a funny indicator of my ignorance.

It would be a stop-gap with some pitfalls, but perhaps make all 2nd 
draft text bold and all 3rd draft italics.  The obvious pitfall is any 
already emphasized first draft text.
