That would require no new iOS APIs and no OmniFocus special cases, but would make it easy for an app like OmniFocus to advertise to the system that they open email messages which would give us an easy way to solve this problem.

That sounds beautiful, but in the meantime I think a lot of the workflow problems when using the iPad in general as laptop replacement come from the absence of fast-app switching, which would make it a lot more amenable to playing around like one does with windows in the full OS. Granted, transferring information across app would still have to rely on copy/paste, but I think it would be a lot more tolerable than the present situation.
Maybe OG can help Apple push iOS 4 iPad out the door sooner? :-)
