Sounds good.

We already link to some non-English talks about Org.
It is just a matter of indicating the language near the WORG link.
Having both English and Spanish will be even better.
To add your blog article link to WORG, you can just make a patch against

Fine-tuning commands should indeed be dedicated to specific export
backends. It is generally meaningless to have \clearpage in html export.
However, \pagebreak specifically is something people use in plain text
files, and it may be useful for odt exports.

:export_template will indeed work for LaTeX. What I am looking for here
is some useful functionality that may be generalized to multiple export
backends.
