Not really. If some section is incomplete, marking it "TODO" means that
it should be completed. And the details might be listed in the logbook
notes, for example. The section name itself does not necessarily have to
details what needs to be done.

We have multiple instances of such "TODO" items in WORG, some also
include comments on what should be done.

On the other hand, inlinetasks are more concrete and immediately mark
both where exactly and what needs to be done.

I am not 100% sure if we need to constrain "TODO" items to one or
another style. Global todo list, marking existing sections as TODO, and
inlinetasks all may have their place depending on the situation.

The policy we may want to set is whether "TODO" keywords and notes
should be displayed to all the users. WORG has this set all over the
place - some TODO headings are marked to be not exported, some TODO
keywords are hidden via #+options: todo:nil, some notes are placed into
# comments.

May we have some kind of css-based toggle that will enable "developer
mode", revealing all the todo keywords, inlinetasks, and notes? Then, we
hide the "unfinished" parts from users by default, but let them see what
can be contributed?
