Thanks Eric, this is great news.  I'll ensure my examples from last year
still work with the current org-mode syntax.

That's a nice site, thanks!

The accompanying paper from 2011 goes into detail as to what it does.
But in essence, the website is supposed to be 'neutral', in that it is
not your local system.  A document may compile on my system, but not for
others, because it depends on my local configuration.  Having a neutral
system will avoid such problems.

A neutral system could also have support for all babel languages, so
that I can use it to compile someone's document without e.g. having a
common-lisp compiler on my system.

yes, that too!

best wishes,
