I use inlinetasks a lot for file local TODO items that are not meant to appear in my agenda. They are notes for things I need to do, typically, to finish a paper. Being able to "C-c / t" to find them all easily is great. I would expect the same functionality from any replacement. In terms of format, I also dislike opening and closing tags except for short formatting uses. I would prefer [COMMENT: this is very interesting] and [TODO: I need to update this]. Or even [[TODO:...]] to be less worried about running into problems with text use of [...]. But I think that's already been dismissed... -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.1, Org release_8.3beta-1136-g0e7062
