Hi Karl,

good points. I did not want to say, that org-mode has no USPS.
I just wanted to emphasize, that in the original definition of a "real" USP
(at least from my understanding) there should be not other product which has
this feature.

As there is a very large and constantly growing number of tools on the
market, it might be very difficult to know them all - so your
community-based approch is absolutely preferable.

concerning dependencies: I'm not sure, but I think that OmniFocucs also has
them, but I'm not sure.

What about tracking those USP/KSP in a shared document in WORG?

I tried to set up one, but as a newbie, I'm not sure how to link it to the
others.
