Videos was just an example to make it not too complex.
One of the use cases i want is to print out tasks.
As the field "description" can be arbitrary large, the "labels" suggestion
cannot do the job, as a label has a fixed layout with limited space per item,
but my "description"s vary from two words to two pages.
of course i can do a mailmerge but having all the two-word-descriptions on
separate pages is not acceptable.
of course i can print out a naked database table with my tasks, this might be ok
for me, but in a business presentation i need additional layout around these 
tasks.

there are other use cases for "formfeed-free mailmerge", but i hope this one can
clarify the idea. please try to understand. i am pushing free software like OOo
in business contexts, but sometimes small limitations can be big showstoppers!
