Subject: Re: Formal description of Org files

If one goal of such a formal description of Org-mode would be to parse
text Org-mode files into an abstract syntax tree (which is reminiscent
of [1] and [2]) then perhaps we should look at parsers which have
already been applied to other document languages (e.g. tex, html etc...)
or at least support xml output. If such parsers exist and have been
widely applied, then maybe they could support the exportation of
Org-mode files, or even automate the writing of code for such exporters?

Footnotes:
[1] the effort to unify exporting behind a single parser of Org-mode
files into an abstract elisp tree
[2] http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/, which as I recall has an
Org-mode backend
