Then you will have to start a Sig and convince 10 or 20 million other
people to join. Remember that MS didn't want to bother supporting
languages that had "only" a million speakers.
Another option, since Emacs will load an arbitrary binary file, is work
directly on whatever format msw stores the Tasks data in. This would take
some doing. I can't imagine a scenario where it would be worth the
trouble.
