Clever! I was trying to think of a way to do it within headline 3, but
get it to break before the actual section heading... this much better.
One question, say the following occurs:

* Heading 1     :export: ...
* Heading 2
* Latex New Page     :ignoreheading:export:
#+latex: \newpage

* Heading 3     :export: ...

Say that with \maketitle and possible TOC, Heading 1 ends exactly on
the last line of page 1. Won't the \newpage command create a full
blank page on page 2, with Heading 3 starting on page 3?

Rare situation, but just thought I'd inquire about the possibility.
