Rather that going down that track the easier and safer option would be to simply define the user editable elements as WYSIWYG editors. This would allow the use to add an remove content as they wish without needing to be aware of HTML or anything like that.

To answer your specific question the drawback to what you are doing there are a few that I can think of of the top of my head.


Any change Google makes to the way sites.google.com renders the content would break your code and you would need to update the code to make it work again, not exactly a sustainable proposition.
This would violate Google terms of service which specifically state...



don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide



If this where to be discovered by Google it would bring your entire operation to a halt as Google would more than likely terminate your sites profile which would prevent you from doing anything with it until you did a major revision to your system to support the content changes you want to support without depending on Google Sites.
