It's not a crazy idea but one which misses one of the best features of
org mode: it is part of Emacs.  For me, a markup language is not so
exciting: we have plenty of them.  What makes org mode powerful is that
it is infinitely customizable by being part of Emacs.  I can add code,
change existing code, advice code, etc.  The org I use is not the org
others use, as a result.

But I'm sure many would love to have org markup understood in many more
tools.

My own approach is to ensure I have Emacs with me wherever I go.  Hence
my obsession with palmtop computers... ;-)
