Great, I'd be happy to test out the code when it's ready!

That would be great, too!

I will let you know as I continue using it.  The ultimate improvement 
IMO would be some sort of good multi-mode support, so that things 
between #+begin_src/#+end_src would be fontified according to their 
mode. And when I, for example, move into an R source section in my 
org-mode buffer, all ESS key bindings would work.

I have read a couple recent threads about getting functionality like 
this via two-mode-mode for instance, but they have some quirks that make 
it unusable for me.  Are you and Eric working on anything like this?  I 
have been investigating different options and will let you know if I 
find anything promising!

Thanks!
Erik
