Hi,
Starting at org-mode files for a while and skimming over WORG it
jumped out at me that
org-mode really looks at its documents like a tree data structure. It
doesn't force that
worldview upon you, it just makes your life so much easier by help you
to utilize it in Emacs.
Questions:
1. Anyone else look at it this way?
2. Are there any brokering functions between the org file and a SEXP?
It would be nice to work
with that since Emacs-Lisp already handles them fine.

Yes, everybody. In fact, org-mode *does* force you to view your document
as a tree and that's one of the most common complaints: people want to
have a piece of a section, followed by a subsection, and then pop up
again with another piece of the original section - org-mode does not let
you do that.

Those '-map' functions are very useful and powerful too:
C-h f org--map TAB
,-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Possible completions are:
| org-babel-map-call-lines org-babel-map-executables
| org-babel-map-inline-src-blocks org-babel-map-src-blocks
| org-block-map org-element-map
| org-goto-map org-set-transient-map
| org-table-map-tables
`-----------------------------------------------------------------
C-h f org-map- TAB
,--------------------------------
| Possible completions are:
| org-map-dblocks org-map-entries
| org-map-region org-map-tree
`--------------------------------
