Well, I will have to chime in with a contrary view. I like using
headlines to define blocks, and I use blocks on almost every frame. I
have the following reasons for preferring a headline approach:
- the proposed approach does not easily (at all?) cater for blocks
within blocks
- ease of hiding of content: org for me is still primarily an outliner!
- being able to re-arrange content in a frame quickly (M-<up>, etc.)
- within frames, there is no other use for lower level headlines. Using
these for blocks seems appropriate. What else could they be used for?
Obviously, I would adapt to whatever is provided.
Thanks in advance in any case! I look forward to beamer support in the
new exporter.
