On that note, in a couple of weeks (once finals and the next Muse
release are done), I'm going to take a look at org-mode and try to
figure out different ways that Muse and org-mode can interact, since
this is something that people on the Muse mailing list have requested
in the past.  Especially since Muse will probably be entering Emacs
once Emacs22 is released.

One of the plans for the next release of Muse + 1 (3.04) is to support
publishing documents that use other markup syntaxes, such as Markdown
and reSt.  Perhaps org-mode syntax could be supported as well.

If someone is familiar with both modes, feel free to suggest ways that
they could complement one another.
