Hmm... Are you suggesting that the "templates" should contain the tags as part of the 
template? It seems that the "text" is already quite cluttered as is.

Indeed, you can even create recursive templates :-).

Good point. Free text will always be more flexible than "forms". Tagged text with 
contraint (e.g. DTD) is no more flexible than "forms".

Thus, FreePM templates aid the production of free text - without imposing constraints 
- permitting maximum flexibility.

Got it! Makes it hard to use FreePM for clinical research :-).

Have you decided what license to release the source code under?
