The approach the author advocates for complex situations is to use both a simple check list along with what the construction industry calls a submittal list. The simple check lists get used to cover normal circumstances and the submittal list gets used when exceptional exceptional circumstances arise. I don't know how much of this has already been implemented in org-mode, and if all of it isn't yet available time permiting, doing so might get org-mode to be used by the World Health Organization since they've already got this approach in use already according to the author who helped them set it up. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude
