Is there a way to protect text regions from org mode parsing?  When I 
paste the following under an org mode headline:

                   +-------+  +--------------> future x
           +----+  |predict|  |   +-------+
      x -->|TDL +--|   x   |--+-->|       |
           +----+  +-------+      |predict|--> future y
                                  |       |
           +----+                 |   y   |
      y -->|TDL +---------------->|       |
           +----+                 +-------+

org mode scrambles it.  If I precede each line with a ':', org mode 
still scrambles it, but less so.

Thanks,

Scott
