Hi Luke,

thanks for the very comprehensive answer.  I can now see where you are
heading.  And it's a laudable direction.

But not for me because of one fundamental property of org: "it's all
text".

I've been in this business a very *long* time and, if I've learnt
anything at all, it's that formats come and go but text remains [1].  If
I have any issue with what org or emacs are doing, I *know* that I can
open up the file in vim, say, and have all my content available.  Or I
can M-x text-mode RET in emacs and I can see everything as well.

YMMV, of course :-)

Thanks again,
eric

Footnotes: 
[1]  well, I did start with EBCDIC, moved to US-ASCII and now use UTF-8...
