I wouldn't like that for at least two reasons.  

1) Not all files I where I use headlines for structuring are private to
   me.  Such a headline doesn't disturb anybody, but your suggestion
   works out only if everybody who needs to edit those files uses emacs
   and org.

2) All the links to files you get with `describe-function' and friends
   would point to generated files.  If I want to change something, I'd
   have to find the corresponding org file first.
