Thanks Michael!

That solution works great! I followed the discussion that followed in that
thread and have adopted the following solution in my config for now.

# http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/106497/focus=106683

| / | <#> |    | <r> |
|   | 1n  | 2y |  3y |
# Exports to ASCII as
# 2y  3y

| / | <r> | <#> |    |
|   |  1y | 2n  | 3y |
# Exports to ASCII as
# 1y  3y

| /  | <r> | <#> |
| 1y |  2y | 3n  |
# Exports to ASCII as
# 1y  2y

| / | <#> | <#> | <r> | <#> | <#> | <#> |
|   | 1n  | 2n  |  3y | 4n  | 5n  | 6n  |
# Exports to ASCII as
# 3y

| / | <r> | <l> | <r> | <l> | <r> | <l> |
| / | <#> | <#> | <#> |     | <#> | <#> |
|   |  1n | 2n  |  3n | 4y  |  5n | 6n  |
# Exports to ASCII as
# 4y

# Same result with a less useful notation:
| / | <r> | <l> | <r> | <l> | <r> | <l> |
| / | <#> | <#> |     |     | <#> | <#> |
| / |     | <#> | <#> |     |     |     |
|   |  1n | 2n  |  3n | 4y  |  5n | 6n  |
# Exports to ASCII as
# 4y

# Deletion must not get trapped with this:
| / | <r> | <l> | <r> | <l> | <r> | <l> |
| / |     |     |     |     |     |     |
|   | <#> | <#> | <#> |     |     |     |
|   |  1y | 2y  |  3y | 4y  |  5y | 6y  |
# Exports to ASCII as
# <#>  <#>  <#>
#  1y  2y    3y  4y  5y  6y
