Hi,

I'm working on a bugtracker sync tool for org-mode [1]. I'm using
org-element to parse org files, it does everything I need.

It turns this


* TODO blah <2012-06-25>
:PROPERTIES:
:foo: bar
:END:
Foo bar

into this:

(org-data nil
          (headline
           (:raw-value "blah <2012-06-25>" :title
                       ("blah "
                        (timestamp
                         (:type active :value "<2012-06-25>")))
                       :level 1
                       :todo-keyword "TODO"
                       :todo-type todo
                       :timestamp "2012-06-25"
                       :foo "bar" :category "???")
           (section
            ()
            (property-drawer
             (:properties (("foo" . "bar"))))
            (paragraph
             ()
             "Foo bar"))))


I've removed irrelevant stuff for the example but you can get get the
start/end point of each element from this structure.
Just call org-element-parse-buffer.
