Would it be a problem to bind the LOGBOOK drawer to the headline as
well (like you did for the PROPERTIES drawer)?

Did not know I wasn't conforming to the common habits...

From what I've seen,

- Planning info and drawers are typically "indented" (see Worg, the
  Org-mode manual and http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html for different
  types of drawers, sometimes including the PROPERTIES one), what makes
  those info stand out from the "notes" themselves.

- Body text is often not indented (see Worg files themselves), which is
  much easier for diffing different versions of the same file).

OK.

That could do it when promoting or demoting entries.  But that's not
sufficient: now, whenever logging a state change (from TODO to DONE, for
example), a drawer gets created in column 0, instead of at the right
indentation level of the headline.

The same kind of problems occurred with a repeating timestamp:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO Noter les index de consommation
   DEADLINE: <2014-11-23 Sun 20:00 ++7d -0d>
   :PROPERTIES:
   :LAST_REPEAT: [2014-11-25 Tue 16:46]
   :END:
   :LOGBOOK:
   (...)
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-17 Mon 13:36]
   :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

became (after C-c C-t d):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO Noter les index de consommation
DEADLINE: <2014-11-30 Sun 20:00 ++7d -0d>
   :PROPERTIES:
   :LAST_REPEAT: [2014-11-25 Tue 16:46]
   :END:
   :LOGBOOK:
   (...)
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-17 Mon 13:36]
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-25 Tue 16:46]
   :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

^ DEADLINE in column 0.

Am I missing something?

Best regards,
  Seb
