Thanks, attached.

I'd tend to think that this buffer should be read-only and using a major
mode that derives from special-mode, which seems incompatible with
org-mode.  It could still use the Org syntax, of course, maybe with an
outline-minor-mode.

I think we can just change the format without introducing an option to
recover the old format.
