I think it's more elucidating to view that in terms of
(technical) path dependency [1]: Org inherits from Outline,
which doesn't think in terms of (recursive) sections
(as would, e.g. XML) but in terms of headlines. Sections
came as a secondary concept (whatever is "below" a headline).
Changing the model in-flight seems prohibitive at this
stage, with all the accumulated wetware.
