I think it would be quite innovative if the user could move
headlines/entries by 1) selecting text with the mouse, 2) using a
drop-down menu option to cut the selection, 3) selecting a destination
with the mouse, and 4) using a drop-down menu option to paste the text.
Also, I would like to request WYSIWYG formatting. Have you considered a
binary format for the files? Then we could use styles to demarcate
separate sections of an org-file instead of all those asterisks!!

Might I request spinning text? ;)
