What is doable is to try to enhance Org so that less stuff come in the
way, sure.

What we may think about is a "Org readable exchange format (oref?)",
which would take the output of Nicolas' parser, export it in Org-mode
using some specific properties like "TAGS:" "TODO:" etc.

See above.

There is a plan for this, yes.

See above.

Maybe you can start working on a org-e-oref exporter, storying *all*
metadata into properties? ... Don't know where it will lead, but who
knows?
