Hi,

This sounds like an interesting approach to (ab-)use muse. I'm just a  
bit concerned about the performance of creating buffers on demand  
based on tags. I'm currently maintaining approx. 1800 references with  
more than 8000 keywords/tags. Also, the more references there are, the  
more useful it is to look for references that contain two or more  
keywords rather than just one.

I use planner-mode (which runs on top of muse) for project planning,  
for writing instructions and method sheets, and for just about  
everything else. I guess there is no poor use if things work the way  
you want.

I prefer to maintain references in a database  
(http://refdb.sourceforge.net). There is an Emacs frontend (see  
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RefdbMode) which allows you to run your  
everyday tasks from within Emacs. There is also reverse lookup (jump  
to the reference from e.g. an author name or a citation key in your  
document) as well as citation support. The latter works also for Muse  
documents.
