I'm dealing with it again tonight, and I do find it a bit teeth-gnashing.
In this case what I'm looking to do is to hide a whole section when the
exported hTML page loads.  But right now the subtee children of the
headline remain visible even when the text is hidden.

Whoa! I just realized I can rewrite this myself, since it's a derived
bakend.  I guess the export happens from the leafs upwards, so that the
contents are already rendered by the time theadline is being processed.  So
in my headline exporter, just had to wrap the contents in an additional
div.  It works fine, I feel great about it!
