Hi Eric,

reading this, I wonder if we should consider use this instead:

#+results:
- ("eric" "schulte")
- ("dan" "davison")
- ("seb" "vauban")
#+end

or better:

#+begin_results
- ("eric" "schulte")
- ("dan" "davison")
- ("seb" "vauban")
#+end_results

Looks more consistent with the rest of the #+begin* statements.

More generally, I've sometimes wondered why we need to use 

#+begin_*
#+end_*

instead of just

#+begin_*
#+end

Unless we allow nested #+begin blocks (and AFAIK we don't), there 
is no real need for being specific about what #+end ends.

What do you think?
