No, I was missing the "#+export_file_name: org.texi" part.

I don't have a strong opinion on this.

The rationale for using org.org (which, I agree, sounds a bit
childish) is that this is the current convention for naming GNU
manual is [package-name].[extension].

See emacs.texi, gnus.texi, calc.texi, etc.

If using Org becomes popular, it makes sense to have emacs.org,
gnus.org, calc.org but I find emacs-manual.org, gnus-manual.org
calc-manual.org to be cumbersome.

Ok, we're not there yet, I know :)

But still: RMS recently raised the question on emacs-devel of
whether using .rst for the GNU documentation would be better,
so using .org for this purpose is not entirely hypothetical.

What people think?  Let's just collect votes on this.

+1 for org.org
