Yes it is -- exporting an agenda to an .org file will collect the original headlines (with their body but without their subtrees) and put them in a new .org file. I've updated the documentation to mention this. The idea behind this feature is to be able to create *temporary* .org files for focused work, e.g., for a clean export of the agenda or for converting headlines into a plain list to print. With this "focus" idea in mind, adding inherited tags seemed too much, as tags are really useful for... creating agendas. Let me know if you strongly feel inherited tags should be allowed here and why. Thanks, -- Bastien
