Something I've found challenging is the inconsistency between babel
languages. It makes it difficult for a babel user to get a source
block to do what they want, or for a babel developer to even know what
correct behavior is.

I'm not sure if anything can be done since changes will likely break
existing behavior, but it's good to at least know what the rule is and
where the exceptions to the rule are. To that end I started a page on
worg [1] to document current behavior for actions taken across babel
languages.

Wonderful, thank you.  I have been thinking it would be nice to have a test suite along these lines, but detailed doc like this is more feasible and maintainable.

When time permits I will work on adding Scheme to this page.

Best wishes,
