Right, I'd forgotten the distinction. I really only use orgstruct for
plain/numbered list editing (and I guess the occasional table), and
filling/indentation is pretty key there.

Would that mean that lists and tables wouldn't be supported?

Hey, I didn't know about that. That's pretty nice! It's not *quite* as
no-brainer as the special-mode popups, but definitely close enough that
there's no need to write anything else.

I can adapt the code from org-annotate. The unfortunate thing about
tabulated list mode, which I otherwise really like, isn't able to show
multi-line list items. That really crimps its usefulness in showing
footnotes and annotations, since you can only see the first line.
Bummer.

Okay. I thought there might be some big chunk of Org that needed to be
shifted over on top of elements.
