- Various operations with subtrees: kill, yank, refile
- Getting refile/goto targets
and perhaps more functions spread over Org .el files. That is why it is 
hardly viable as a 3rd party extension.

It still would be a tree, but with interleaved block-level text elements 
and subheadings, while currently subheadings must follow heading text. 
What is more close to graph is org-transclusion.

Certainly more liberal structure may confuse readers. It has advantages 
for early drafts and notes more close to mind maps. During collection of 
notes it can not be anticipated which peace of information will be 
expanded with a lot of details. Before publishing document should be 
reworked to make it more linear.

HTML documents may be more interactive and have more decorations than 
printed papers, so I am unsure concerning the export common denominator 
argument. There is a variant of continue parent section for poors: 
create a 1 level deeper subsection "<title> (continued)".

I am still in doubts if increased complexity and performance impact 
outweigh benefits.
