Naomi,
This is style used by many writers.
Look at JoAnn Hackos "Managing your documentation projects" and R John
Brockman "Writing better computer user documentation" as they both use this
style in their books.
I think the current Style Guide uses it as well, as they put occasional
notes in the left margin.

What do you think of setting out a manual so that headings are on the
page margin, but text is indented 2-3cm? Outdated? Sexy? Easier to read
and find information? Waste of paper?
