No, unfortunately this wouldn't help because all you are doing is to set the
default mode to html. Whenever you go to the design mode for any reason, the
same thing will occur.

I agree that putting the file to VSS is an exteremly bad solution, but it's
not really a solution proposal, just a result of using VSS. In anycase, when
I save the file and turn to the design mode, if I don't change anything and
go back to the html, then VS does not mess with the html. Of course, if you
change something through the designer, expect the html to change.
Unfortunately there's nothing that can stop that.

Sorry,
