The MW journal system is a lot more complex than I thought. We have basically three separate parts:
1. The main journal (quest entries in chronological order)
2. The quest log (journal entries sorted by quest)
3. The topic records (list of dialogue topics and replies).
I must admit, that I didn't even know about #3 until a few days ago. Rather silly, considering that I played MW quite a bit in my time.
The basic interface for #1 is ready (Journal branch), though it doesn't do anything yet. Unless I am missing something the UESP documentation on the INFO record in incompletely (journal index is missing). Guess I will have to do some more ESM reverse-engineering.

I will continue to work with it for now. But I am afraid that we have another round of ESM record cleanup and fixing ahead of us.

(Or point me to some doc, and I'll write the wiki article)
