Hi Nicolas,

Abbrev only expands on words constituents, so "<s" would not work.

I see.  So combining the two, we would have something like this:

(define-skeleton org-skeleton-src-block
     "" nil
     >
     "#+begin_src" \n
     _ \n
     "#+end_src")

(define-abbrev org-mode-abbrev-table "<s"
      "" 'org-skeleton-src-block)

... modulo the restriction on "<s" mentioned above.

I need to think about this and Kaushal proposal to see if we can
come up with a simple and backward-compatible solution.

Already thanks for the pointers.
