That has been in the spirit of the db backend discussion, and the node/edge concept. IE Leo being a data manager, but the data existing in a standard form. The nodes would exist in the same space as bookmarks, pdf file contents, history and logging data ... Leo would be a tool to view and mashup the data. But the core concept is that the storage and relation mechanism is well known. Hence: db backend Often 'db backend' discussions are around collaborative editing of Leo files, I'm not interested in multiple 'users' changing my Leo files, I'm interested in multiple 'applications' using my Leo data.
