I just came up with a better solution.

When cursor is on a headline but not at the beginning of the heading,
C-a move it to the beginning.

  *** An example h
                 |
      |<---------+ first C-a
      |
  |<--+ second C-a

You can find a similar behavior in many other modes such as
message-mode.

Leo,

Good idea, one problem with this though is that for people using screen
you have to type C-a a C-a a. Kind of a long keystroke. Then again, judging from all the shift keystrokes in org-mode, console functionality doesn't appear to be a very high priority. 

I would think though that it would annoy people who are used to C-a going to the beginning of the line.
