Subject: org the program vs. org the format

Hi,

there's a discussion on emacs-devel[1] about replacing texinfo as the 
documentation format and org is mentioned. RMS correctly mentions that org-
mode is not a format but a program.

This was also my problem when I thought about using org-mode at work in my 
team. Since I'm the only emacs user we decided to use asciidoc which is a 
format that can be edited and processed with different programs.

So org-mode is a bit like PHP which also doesn't (didn't) have a specification 
but the implementation is the specification.

Would it be possible to change the format of org-mode to be a superset of e.g. 
asciidoc or markdown but keep the features?
