One more followup on this: it turns out I don't need to use plain lists
nearly as often as I had thought! I didn't understand that org-mode export
automatically makes headers greater than N into lists (at least with the
H:N option). So in many cases I can actually use headers (including
TODOs) and get all the benefits there (including not just TODOs but
attributes and so on) while still having my exported document look like
bulleted lists. Org-mode ftw!
