It would be nice to have complete specifications of "do the right
thing".

Also, it is important to have a way to insert a headline whatever is
around, and one to insert a headline at the end of the current section
or even great-parent.

Currently C-RET is sub-optimal since it is equivalent to C-u M-RET. It
might be possible to re-define both M-RET and C-RET so they can cover
all use-cases in a predictable, and meaningful, fashion.

Blank lines belong to the element at point above.

In particular, number of blank lines is meaningful in plain lists and
footnote definitions (2 blank lines mark the end of the element). In the
first line, you're still in the list, in the next one, you're not
anymore, hence the behaviour.

Think about

  - a

  - b
