I agree with Nicolas, though I thought the inclusion was settled by
now. Repeating myself upon the announcement of ox-extra.el¹:
If it's helpful (enough) it should be ox.el, I guess, or
ox-ENGINGE.el. . . Parallel, semi-official extension to ox itself
doesn't sound nice.
Worg → ox-filters is better IMO. This would only become more true (in
my mind) if that — again IMO, horrendous — idea of splitting off
contrib is made into reality.
Cheers,
Rasmus
