Hi Cristoph,
okay, paragraph headings are not what you want. And lists aren't
suitable either. I don't think there is any other way and I predict
that adding :: syntax in arbitrary positions will not be acceptable as a
development to the language but let's see what others think. I have no
strong feelings either way.
Just some rebuttals on your points:

Well, that's a personal view, not a strict definition.

Org allows this just fine. I often have 4th level headings within a 1st
level heading with no intervening levels.

You can set visibility on individual headlines using properties.
I always start my (long) documents with all headings to a certain level
exposed (org-content 3) so paragraphs are hidden by default. You might
find this useful. Or maybe not! ;-)
