I don't understand the logic in this. 

In terms of final layout, do you want to have subheading appear as a
"box"? Like in some (introductory) textbooks? If so, you could program a
certain ** to be export as a certain type of object. You might even be
able to use tags to determine how output should be formatted, like in
Org-latex-beamer mode. This might require some hacking. 


I do however, strongly support the idea of terminating headings, but for
other reasons. 

My problem is ending * COMMENT headings. 

This sketch the issue (in terms of LaTeX export):
#+begin_src emacs-org
* COMMENT This is were I put all my export settings, various notes and such

  it could be placed as the very last headline, but that is somewhat
  annoying an illogical to me. 

** Export 
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: me 
[A bunch of paper-specific #+latex_header:] 

** An outline of the task at hand 
[...]

And HERE I want to put text before the first subsection. That is beneath
Title but before first section. 
#+end_src

In terms of LaTeX I need something like: 

#+begin_src latex
\begin{document}
\maketitle 
This is where I want some initial text
\section{first section}
#+end_src

Of course, I could start explicitly with a \section{intro} (i.e. *
Intro) right after \maketitle/\begin{document}, but for short papers I
find this is redundant.

Is my style the problem or should there be a way to terminate section, maybe
with an artificial new heading (similar to the :B_ignoreheading: tag)?
