I'm sure that the caching mechanism is useful, but I'm not sure that
we should do it with paying the large cost of rewrite whole codes.

Because the orgmode is the center of information for the many Emacs
users, I think it is very interesting for not only elisp codes but
also the other applications to access the information of the orgmode
via emacsclient or D-Bus messaging.

If the interface for the mode of orgmode items and modification hooks
is defined, one would send todo items to one's mobile terminal
immediately, or share the items on the SNS.

Of course, it is just a trivial idea, not my request.

I'm glad to be able to share my idea.
It was difficult for me to discuss the abstract topic quickly in English.

Thank you
