No, it is the section itself (or the concept of "section", with its toys
in Org, of course) that is important to me in this case. I am not
emphasizing so much how or in which way an element can be exported, but
what (semantic) role that element plays in the logical structure of an
Org document. To get a little philosophical, the Org document (where I
work and write) would be the idea, and the export to any format a
possible concrete realization. I mean, I find it comfortable and
productive to view an Org document as agnostic of any format. This use
of inlinetasks that I'm discussing here occurred to me a long time ago
because if I stop to think about an untitled, detached section of the
level hierarchy, this Org element is a perfect candidate. It is true
that you can use a special block, or another element (org is very
versatile, and supports role swapping between elements), but if I have
to think of a logical candidate, inlinetasks are the closest to that
concept. If inlinetasks didn't exist, I'd probably use special blocks
for that purpose. When I'm writing inside Org I'm not thinking about the
export (at least not simultaneously), that is, about the format; I think
more of the structure of the document, as something abstract.
