Exactly.  I use inlinetasks a lot for file local TODO items that are not
meant to appear in my agenda.  They are notes for things I need to do,
typically, to finish a paper.  Being able to "C-c / t" to find them all
easily is great.  I would expect the same functionality from any
replacement.

In terms of format, I also dislike opening and closing tags except for
short formatting uses.  I would prefer [COMMENT: this is very
interesting] and [TODO: I need to update this].  Or even [[TODO:...]] to
be less worried about running into problems with text use of [...].  But
I think that's already been dismissed...
