I agree.  I'll release this to marmalade once the supporting packages
are in order (see below).

After talking to Nicolas, it sounds as though if I wait for the next
major Org-mode release, the Org-mode package will provide org-element

the trouble of generating extra packages which will quickly be obsolete.
