Hi Vikas,

Unfortunately I’m completely with you (and previous comments here). The meaning
of “headline” is closer to “title” than “heading”. A document can have multiple
headings but only a single headline (which is specifically the line at the top,
e.g. “Newspaper headline”).

As Ihor points out though, from a compat perspective, a change to “heading” may
be intractable. This gives me rather mixed feelings, as I’m of a similar mind
regarding the org-element headline->heading change being too problematic, but
settling on the less accurate term seems quite undesirable too, and doesn’t sit
well with me.

All the best,
Timothy
