Thanks, I will try that out, which should help to greatly trim down
the amount/complexity of this code.

yes, the simplest way to reproduce is...

1. completely turn off emacs
2. start up emacs
3. open a non-org-mode buffer (I began editing a file called "test")
4. start up orgstruct-mode
5. enter some text, select the text as a region, then call
   org-export-region-as-html

this function should fail with something like this in your messages.

Exporting... [2 times]
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil


I'm using GNU Emacs 22, with org-5.17a

Hope this helps,
Eric
