At first blush, I thought the idea of using different typefaces to indicate different stages of a document might be quite effective (and using clearly different and recognisable typefaces would obviously work best), but on reflection I think I'd prefer just putting a note up front on the document and, if necessary, in the running heads stating what stage it's at. Using different typefaces seems too gimmicky to me and would probably make it harder to compare hard-copy versions. And Comic Sans just cheapens things - our workplace is about to negotiate a new employment contract, and one of the specific requests staff asked the union was not to print the next contract in Comic Sans.
