Milan,

Thanks for the idea. I've skimmed through a couple of articles about 
org-mode but I don't quite get the idea behind it. The Emacs side is 
relatively clear (as it usually is with everything made in Lisp :), but 
I don't understand how the app side is supposed to work, except for the 
obvious cases, like web browsers. Is it possible to trigger org-protocol 
requests from Okular, LibreOffice, xterm or another arbitrary 
application, like CoolReader?
