Great. The named result block is just what I needed.

Agreed, particularly in light of Eric's comments at 

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-03/msg00285.html

There's the variable org-babel-inline-header-args, but it seems using

#+PROPERTY: header-args :exports both

overrules/breaks it

Would org want something like 

#+PROPERTY: inline-header-args :exports results 

Or just 'hard-code' :exports results for all inline blocks?
