This is basically what I do.  I even have (ignored) headlines that have
a content that is simply a @@latex:\newpage@@ directive!

The problem is that if you have a headline that is ignored, the text
that follows essentially belongs to the previous non-ignored
headline.  If that previous headline has been commented out or has been
marked as not to be exported, the text after the ignored headline is
also therefore ignored when it comes to export.

Ignoring headlines is very fragile in the same way as described in my
original post.
