I will definitely do so. That said, I have essentially taken an 'example driven approach'. I have taken user requests that have occurred on this list [1] (which seemed one-off or export oriented) and asked the following questions - 1. Can I use Babel Src blocks (atleast in theory) to achieve this? What changes are required in the Org/Babel core to do it? 2. Can it be expressed in a syntax that is no different from one that the org users are already familiar with. I will followup on my earlier posts with greater clarity ... Footnotes : [1] I have provided links to example user stories in all my earlier posts. They, IMHO, are potential candidates that could guide one to expanding Babel in little (if not profound) ways.
