Good work Greg.

My only comment is about the tests in src blocks. I'm not sure about these
as I always use the special editing mode for source blocks and I would
expect that when you do this, the editing buffer would adopt the semantics
of the native mode for the source language being edited. (I have
org-src-tab-acts-natively t in my init). Were your tests just inside a src
block in an org buffer or inside the special editing buffer?

From that table and what others have posted, I suspect many would be best
off with org-adapt-indentation set to nil or possible 'heading-data.
Personally, I've not found the change an issue, but I rarely go more than 3
or 4 levels deep in my headlines and am use to C-j to add a non-indented
line. However, I'm thinking about giving heading-data a spin as I like the
indentation for planning lines and have less of a preference for the entry
content.
