That is a really good idea.  In fact, we really should have a little
mini-tutorial on writing OMF files with an example OMF file and
explanation of how to use each field, in the context of ScrollKeeper.
Part of this would be a list of all the categories.

And since you mention it, I guess we should start writing up the 0.4
Specifications pretty soon.  The changes from 0.2 are pretty well
contained to a list of feature improvements which has been added, although
the database file formats have matured somewhat.

I'm adding these to my TODO list, which I'll put into CVS after I clean it
up somewhat.  If anybody is looking for something to do before I get it
checked in, feel free to email me or just pick anything which interests
you.
