i *do* agree that our hope is that people will see the great benefit of,
and use, "emacs org mode".  however, along with others, i don't want
people to fall in love with "org mode" itself, but, rather with the full
"running org mode with emacs".

at the same time, i have a desire that "the general public" will be able
to "work with" "emacs org mode" *files*; i.e., treat them as somewhat
more than a collection of octets.  *how much* more is tbd; i sort of saw
Karl Voit's proposal of "level 1", ..., as being an attempt to define
ways of extracting (limited) utility from an org mode file.

cheers, Greg
