Hi Samuel,

this is not easy to fix.  I need to insert one empty line to
make sure that the user does not by accident remove the final newline
and in this way deactivate the following headline.

Then, at kill time, when I am cleaning up, it is hard to tell if there
was an empty line originally....

So the current procedure is safer and I will keep it like this.

How do you call (kill-buffer nil) ?

If you have a special key for this, you can bind it in
org-capture-mode-map to org-capture-kill.  If you are using the  
interactive
version of `kill-buffer', I don't think it is a good idea to change  
this because
users will expect the buffer name prompt at that point.
