This looks interesting.  I had started a thread about a month
ago dealing with reading and writing org files from an external
process.  I already was extracting data from external sources
and writing these files but I didn't have a way of effectively
*updating* these files, only overwriting them.  This looks like
what I was looking for to allow me to accomplish this.

The only thing better would be a way to use this package to
update the nodes and then write them back out.  Hmmmmm......
