Apologies;  I meant column view within org mode: info -> org ->
Properties and Columns -> Column view

Yes, I can see what you are getting at.  However, one of the nicest
things about org is that it doesn't necessarily impose a structure on
everything and so a formal grammar could get in the way.  One could
argue that the flexibility of the system is it's main source of
effectiveness!  That and the fact that it is based on pure text.
However, this doesn't argue against improvements in the user interface
when necessary!
