If you want to be even more (too much?) precise, we could use:
- "task" for items with sequential sets of keywords
- "entry" for items with "type" (not sequence) keyword
- "item" for headlines that are not yet a task or an entry
Don't know if this would be relevant everywhere. We should try to
gradually fix the manual first and see if a special case needs to be
made for the difference between entry/item.
