Thanks again!

The more I look into docs and sources of the exporter(s), the less
intimidated I feel.  (Still, there are quite a few mysteries there,
but I seem to get the basic ideas.)  And the more I look at all this
stuff, the more awe I feel...

So basically I can attach #+ATTR_WHATEVER attributes also to lists,
paragraphs and other elements?  Even list items?  (This would mean
that I could mark the "correct" answer using that syntax - but I think
this would be too verbose.  I can't see any harm in abusing checkboxes
for that, though I [[http://xkcd.com/292/][might be mistaken]];))

I see.  (OTOH, special blocks get translated to LaTeX environments and
<div>s in HTML, and are ignored in some other backends - but maybe
that's correct and I just was misled by this.  Never mind.)

I see.  Well, I guess I'll go with the attributes (especially that I
won't need special blocks for that anyway); in some Spare Time™ I'll
update my git clone of Org and look at it.

Thanks a lot!
