You know, it really shouldn't be hard to write an org-contacts.el *backend* for BBDB. I mean, a data source is a data source, who cares if it's an Eli= sp form (.bbdb) or text data? In fact, my Org-X project would make transforming an org-contacts.el buffer into a BBDB Lisp form trivial. Transforming it back (for writing) would be= a bit more work, but nothing too onerous. John
