Agreed.

If you feel confident this is flexible enough, please go ahead.
We only need to make sure that a task like

* TODO Task       
           ^^^^^^ <= unintentional mixed tabs/spaces

is okay.  In other words: enforce a set of rules, but in a way
that will not surprise users if they accidently hit spaces or tabs
in position like the end of a line.

Yes, I think keeping "^***" as a valid regexp is a good idea.

Okay.

Thanks for looking again into this when you have some time!
