I predict, given that you've already allowed them to 'choose their own 
tools', insisting on something as esoteric as org mode will meet much 
resistance (unless of course they've already chosen emacs as their one 
tool).

If you do go down that path, insist also on exactly one (1) of the 
available export targets.
