This sounds reasonable. We can change

- Three categories are used to classify these environments: “Greater
  elements”, “elements”, and “objects”, from the broadest scope to the
  narrowest. The word “element” is used for both Greater and non-Greater
  elements, the context should make that clear.
+ Two main categories are used to classify these environments:
  "elements" and "objects", from the broadest scope to the narrowest.
  "Elements" consist of "greater elements" that can contain other
  elements and objects and "lesser elements" that can only contain
  objects.

One small clarification. The headline structure is actually
(headline (optional whitespace) (optional section) (optional repeat nester-headlines))

Section may not start immediately after the first newline but also after
you skip blank chars in front.

For example:

* This is a headline _without_ section, even though it contains some newlines


* Another headline

Section starts at the word "section" and spans all the way to the next headline or EOB


* Next headline

Best,
Ihor
