I think org-mode should aim to be flexible enough to accomodate all
writers, writing tasks, and writing styles. Maybe for this particular
issue it would be enough to give org-mode an explicit way to "close" a
heading--an Org-wide equivalent to \end{section} in LaTeX, say. Of
course it would have to be as pithy and unobtrusive as the rest of
org-mode syntax...I'm sure it's possible (because with Elisp practically
everything is possible), but out of my depth. :)
