Thanks Christian. Some minor improvements. The intention is not to
nitpick but to build on top of what you have provided and help the
reviewer.

This information could be captured elsewhere and be left out of the
manual. (This parts reads like a tutorial entry)

`Recommendation', `suggestion' would be a better word. Word `something'
is ambiguous.

This portion better be left out of the Org manual.

Above portion qualifies to be part of introductory text.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Above segment seems a bit out of context ... May be some supplementary
information has to go with it or is it just an implementation artefact
that the user need not bother about. Or is this part of the user
configuration?

The first part is complete in itself. The latter can be removed.

Shouldn't part of the manual?
