Probably I just jumped to a quick conclusion based on a naive
understanding of the description.
I thought that `results' are `output' as `orgmode lists'.
Our mails have crossed. I have tried answering in the last of my
previous mails most of the questions that you have raised.
Ignore me if I don't make any sense :-).
To reiterate:
1. Alphabetical lists has already surfaced and a patch is in
progress.
2. ascii backend is the dumbest one that doesn't offer any custom style
associations like HTML or OpenOffice. I find the ASCII backend the
most useful of all the backends.
3. The easy menu map is one Orgmode already uses to capture
'polymorphic' behaviour as in C-c C-e binding and may be this could
be used for choosing styles (from the user side).
4. The new feature could be used for 'ingestion' of custom-styles. So a
power-user has better control.
