I created a "next" branch that we can merge in master once we're out
feature freeze.

I assume you mean that sub/superscript markers are hidden (i.e.,
relevant configuration settings for WYSIWYG).
But in what cases do users need to edit the textual markup? Can they be
avoided ?

We officially support Emacs 24.3, even though at least Emacs 24.4 is
expected.

About entities, we need to be able to distinguish between users entities
unrelated to Org, and the fixed set of entities in Org. Otherwise, if
can re-use code from Emacs, I'm all for it.
