That would only generate > confusion among users. This is unfortunately not the case. Conflating Org mode which is an Emacs major mode with Org syntax is a major communication barrier that leads to confusion for anyone trying to implement a tool based on Org syntax. For example I couldn't just call my implementation of an org-mode-like package for Racket "Org mode" because it is not an Emacs major mode. The absence of a name for Org syntax hampers search and discovery. I'm happy to keep using the multi-word term Org syntax, but I have found a practical need to distinguish the surface syntax from the Emacs major mode to reduce confusing for technical users.
