i just wish, somebody would ratify something like asciidoc+zim-wiki as a document format .. and include proper citing (like in emails).

Than all this code+program+data could be decoupled.

I use zim/markdown too, asciidoc is nice(r).

That's my main objection to this urtext thing - it's yet another text format, i.e., not really plaintext.

I'm sure you could use it to run your life, but should you, probably not. Better to stick with more standard formats. You can even script those with Python, too...
