Hi Austin,
I would be interested to help extend the block prepreocessing system to
handle cases like the one you mention here.

In the above example how would you/Sweave handle the case where there
are multiple R blocks in the same file? For example
#+BEGIN_R
a <- 3
a
#+END_R
- the value of a is \R{a}
- the value of a + 3 is \R{a + 3}
#+BEGIN_R
a <- 8
a
#+END_R
- the value of a is \R{a}
- the value of a + 3 is \R{a + 3}
With that questions answered it should be relatively straightforward to
implement exporting as you described using only org-mode's block
processing, and letting ESS do the actual calculations all without any
dependence on Sweave.

if you have examples of graphic creation, I'd be interested to see how
they work, and relatedly how difficult it would be to move that
functionality into org-mode.
However I think the rest of the point you make immediately below would
be easily addressed through using an org-mode only approach.

If you happen to use yasnippets, I find it makes the creation of blocks
in org files a very quick/easy experience. See
http://legito.net/worg/org-configs/index.php#sec-2.1 for details.
