There is a rudimentary muse-mode exporter that might serve as a partial inspiration: http://osdir.com/ml/emacs.muse.general/2008-02/msg00009.html also the new rewritten export engine (what is that called again) looks a little easier to work with than what's in current org... if someone does do this please let us all know, I think there are plenty of people who would really like to use it.
