One argument against changing the headlne marker was
interoperability: Share org files with others, use other tools to
manipulate org files. Interoperability is a product of
rules/formats/protocols.
Email is a plain text protocol too, but some headers are required
for interoperability. It wouldn't make sense for instance for me
to use my freedom to create/change headers arbitrary, "and to
have my emails look just the way I want them to". E.g. to use
german words Betreff, Datum, An, Von instead of Subject, Date,
To, From, only because I can --> no mail transport agent would
handle this plain text file.
Regards, Gregor
