several hundred fortresses ago I had elves actually bring a liaison.  (good god I wish I'd kept that save)

I have no idea what combination of stuff led to that, but I was ordering sun berries and grizzly bears by the wagonload.

someone needs to mod in a way to smelt all that cloth... into ASH - or is there a non-mod way to do this with clever routing of magma and fire?
I then have something non wood derived to feed to my glassmaking industry, and I get a BIN! woo!
Also, then I don't have to kill all the cannibal hippies. I can sell them whatever armor the goblins leave behind... that isn't covered in blood, or vomit, or entrails or whathaveyou.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Even with the reactions improvements in the next version, I don't think a 'smelt cloth, any cloth' task is possible. Sure if you want to waste time making individual tasks I guess

The ash in the game is wood ash mind you, I'm not entirely sure the ash from clothes would be of actual use. You could probably make them turn into smoke. Or at least vomit

Sun beries are very useful for outdoor forts. Their high drink value negates the lack of a legendary dining room and they can be farmed all year round iirc.
