Feature request: Org Mode syntax highlighting #655

Issue Opening up files I wrote in the Org Mode markup with the *.org file extension shows it all as plain text, rather than the proper syntax of this markup language. I suggest someone familiar with Emacs and Org Mode write this highlighting. I don't expect Xed to implement the features of writing in Org that Emacs does, but some simple syntax highlighting would be nice.

Steps to reproduce Open a file written in Org mode syntax (Emacs is the best way to write in Org). It registers as plain text. It is also not listed in the Highlight Mode list.

Expected behaviour Org mode syntax is highlighted like it is in Emacs or KWrite, and appears in the Highlight Mode list.

Other information I could write it myself if it's low-priority for the project. Where are the highlight mode files stored in the repository?
