I was going to say you could use drawers instead of inline tasks (see
section 2.8 of the manual), but they don't nest properly: if you put one
inside the other and fold the outer one, it only folds to the next
:END:. So if you've got this:
#+DRAWERS: SOMEDRAWER ANOTHER
* Header
:SOMEDRAWER:
Some stuff.
:ANOTHER:
More stuff here.
:END:
Some more stuff.
:END:
TAB on the top drawername gives you this:
:SOMEDRAWER:...
Some more stuff.
:END:
Rather than this:
:SOMEDRAWER:...
:END:
Regular org uses `org-flag-drawer' for this, which just searches for the
next :END: string. I thought org elements might handle it differently,
but `org-element-drawer-parser' just does the same thing: searches for
the next :END: string.
If drawers are "greater elements" in org elements, perhaps they ought to
be able to contain other drawers? Or is non-nesting drawers a design
decision?

It is a design decision.
Note that "greater element" only means that the element can contain
other elements (i.e. a paragraph.). Also, according to org-element.el
comments:
With the exception of `headline' and `item' types, greater elements
cannot contain other greater elements of their own type.
A drawer is a way to hide some contents (and optionally remove them from
export) without adding any specific meaning to them. What would a drawer
within another drawer mean: hide stuff even more?
Also, adding recursive drawers has a cost (for parsing speed, with
visibility cycling features...) with no real benefit, which explains why
it wasn't implemented.
Regards,

That's a good thing to know.

Makes plenty of sense to me. But it's not the first time someone's asked
about ways of descending from one text level into a sub-hierarchy, and
then "popping" back out to the previous textual level. When the will is
there, tools will be abused...
