This is kind of what us Semantic Desktop people try to do. Alas, we often try to do many other things as well, so we dont often get to a usable state, but you may want to look at:

* Nepomuk - which is the big EU project version, alas there is nothing really releasable there yet.

* Gnowsis - which IS released, but a fairly large java-monster

* Koble which is the light-weight web-version

That being said, I probably wouldn't trust my data to either of these if I were an outsider. I know several people who trust Gnowsis and I trust Koble, but I have direct access to the server when it all goes wrong :) (oh, btw, why can't I use ul/ol lists in my comments?)

Have you checked out Org Mode or Planner Mode from Emacs? Everything is saved in plain text and has xml and html export options in both.

Norm,

This is really cool. Keep us posted.

I'd second the org-mode comment. Being an Emacs user (and extension writer) you should find it easy to pick up and extend for your purposes.
