Umm, yeah, OK, you're right.  It looks like its pretty easy to copy
remember-planner-add-xref and make a remember-planner-running-journal.

Sure.  Or maybe #topic, or #index would be more natural sounding?
i.e. you can imagine lots of uses that have nothing to do with a
"path".    

#topic: programing/emacs/planner
#topic: work/productivity

You could imagine an index like Gary's sidebar arising out of this.
You could cross-reference an "note" to more than one topic, which
some people seem to want.  

However, I'm curious what the advantage of a flat directory structure
is?  It seems easier to deal with a nested structure then to implement
the ideas above.

Not that I'm really pushing hard for this.  I'm very happy with
planner as-is!  You have done a great job.

Thanks,  Jody
