Yes, Muse and Org-mode do have some similarity.  While Muse is mainly
for publishing, Org-mode focuses on many other things beyond some good
publishing functionality.  Since Org-mode already has a very good
publishing framework in its HTML exporter , it is relatively easy (a
small step) to make Org-mode a strong publishing environment too.

I have not used Muse in the past 2+ years.  Don't know whether it has
got much improvement...  It's a nice trick to edit .muse files in
Org-mode. :-)

Thanks.  I'll work on the code a little bit more during the weekend and
post it to the group.
