1. What would you recommend as the backend format?
2. Do you consider Orgmode - a text markup format - as a "Word Processor"?
3. Can someone more familiar with internals of Emacs write-up a
statement or two on what *specific* features are needed to move
towards the "Word Processor" world.
ps: I like editing and modifying text with Emacs. For reading text or
viewing, I feel Emacs falls way short.
