Hi Carsten and Sebastian,

This idea might be nonsense or technically infeasible.  The advantage,  
if it is one, is that the same org file might export to LaTeX and  
Beamer with roughly similar results.  If headlines are used below the  
level of the Beamer frame, then export to LaTeX becomes problematic,  
or so it seems to me (and perhaps some others, if I've read their  
posts correctly).   A column-like arrangement in a portion of a LaTeX  
file is sometimes faked by using \begin{tabular} \end{tabular}, and  
this naturally brought to mind Org-mode tables.

Apologies if the signal/noise ratio is distressingly low here.

All the best,
Tom
