Is there any way to turn a headline (and its subtree) into a plain
list (and nested list items)? Or better yet, turn all level N and
below headlines into plain lists at the corresponding level?

Hi Gary,
Just select the subtree of headings you want to convert and hit C-c -
In the example below I select lines 2-17 (Subheading 1 to the line
before All done)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Lists
** This is a heading
*** Subheading 1
*** Subheading 2
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:50]
*** Subheading3
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
**** Three.1
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
**** Three.2
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
*** Four
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
**** Five
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
***** Six
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
* All done
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and then C-c - gives me this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Lists
** This is a heading
- Subheading 1
- Subheading 2
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:50]
- Subheading3
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
- Three.1
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
- Three.2
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
- Four
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
- Five
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
- Six
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]
* All done
[2011-05-06 Fri 14:51]

Hi,
'C-c -' may help to some extent:
Cycle the entire list level through the different itemize/enumerate
bullets (‘-’, ‘+’, ‘*’, ‘1.’, ‘1)’) or a subset of them, depending on
org-plain-list-ordered- item-terminator, the type of list, and its
position17. With a numeric prefix argument N, select the Nth bullet
from this list. If there is an active region when calling this,
selected text will be changed into an item. With a prefix argument,
all lines will be converted to list items. If the first line already
was a list item, any item marker will be removed from the list.
Finally, even without an active region, a normal line will be
converted into a list item.
It will convert headings into nested list items, but not the other
way.
Regards,
.j.

C-c * converts the other way.

For the latter, you could use org-map-entries:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-convert-low-levels-to-list (level)
"Convert headings in file equal or greater than LEVEL to lists.
A numeric prefix argument can be used to set the level. The
default level is three"
(interactive "P")
(let ((level (number-to-string (or level 3))))
(org-map-entries 'org-ctrl-c-minus
(concat "+LEVEL>=" level) 'file)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
There is also an FAQ that covers what the other replies have said.

Best,
Matt

As an example, the function above converts the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
** Two
*** Three
**** Four
***** Five
****** Six
******* Seven
****** Six
***** Five
**** Four
*** Three
** Two
* One
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
To this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
** Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
- Six
- Seven
- Six
- Five
- Four
- Three
** Two
* One
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
