I am really nobody to comment in this thread... Just a silent user of this
great package... But I saw the screen-shots and I thought that hey! where's

I think it is one of the greatest aspects of org-mode, and guess that should
be somehow included too...

Just my 2 cents... Chipping in.. :)

Regards,
Saurabh.
