Ok.  I'll go there in a minute.

These changes look good to me.  Thanks for bringing this up.  Find a few
comments and a question below.

I vote for => 'start-level.  Loop over headlines with same level as the
first.

AFAICS there is a contradiction between the documentation of
org-special-ctrl-k and the code!  Doc: kill the tags.  Code:
(org-align-tags).

Further I propose to delete the part " and possible the folded subtree
below the line" from the documentation.

Just an idea for the "reverse": provide a function to convert a comment
line to a heading (one level below the current level) and demote the
subtrees below.
