perhaps we can start thinking about improving registration between formats?
if you export org [you posted to org mailng list] to a foreign format,
you want your collaborator to be able to edit, save, send back without
raising a sweat.
now you have to integrate the changes. you want to do this without annoyance.
suppose you export comments in the foreign format that contain the
equivalent of persistent markers. you might or might not be willing
to put org id or custom id on every heading, but there might be
workarounds that are not so intrusive. maybe your source can contain
comments with markers. dunno.
if your exported document is a subtree within a huge org file that you
edit all the time, registration allows your software to identify that
subtree, so you're not trying to change anything outside that subtree.
that alone is a win.
but maybe we can do more. the markers can register sections or even
paragraphs if you're doing intensive collaboration. the tricky part
might be getting standard tools to understand that the mapping of
markers takes precedence over everything else.
details of this handwavey and possibly impossible brainstorm are left
as an exercise for the reader.
