In outline mode there is the possibility to replace the stars with an reg-expression. That means you can replace the star as the headline-indicator. Maybe you can take some code from outline-mode. > - To make TODO in plain list items fully useful, I'd have to be able to > apply tags to them.

Aside from that... What is the basic design model for org-mode? What is org supposed to be? Where it is headed? I thought I got an outliner with dates-capabilities. No it's almost a full fledged publishing platform... I think you did a terrific job so far. Maybe you have to make some fundamental decisions here... Regards, Christopher
