Caveat: when I first discover the power of categories (and other ways to attach interesting information to a headline) I started to use it a lot. Because I thought I would finally find something useful to do with these informations. But sometimes it's just too much, and the hope for some useful-thing-to-do-in-a-near-future leads to irrelevant hassle... So in this case, I would simply put "* Chapter 5 of the Tractatus" in the headline. But this might be entirely personal. BTW, the Tractatus is also on my TODO list :) -- Bastien
