I work for a textbook publisher and we have similar requirements.
Basically, you need a client that will generate some form of valid XML or
XHTML.  From this, you can transform and store it in a way that works for
your application.  There are a couple of possibilities that I know of.  Each
depends on the complexity of your metadata:

1. New content can be created via open office's document tool or any of the
other word processing packages that output XML.  Most of these packages
enable you to build macros that map style settings to metadata. 

2. Existing, dynamic content can be updated via a text field using DHTML to
enable minimal markup (like most blogging tools), a Java client, or Flash.
Our meta-data's pretty complex, so we've developed a Flash interface based
on Macromedia's Rich Text Editor component.

You can use the SourceWritingTransformer to update your documents using
Cocoon pipelines.
