Hi Carsten,

thanks a lot for the very clear explanations.

That was my assumption too... hence my reaction to Christopher's
patch.

It now makes sense -- I'll ask for confirmation on the emacs-devel as
suggested by Christopher.

Mh... here I'm not sure to understand what you suggest. 
Isn't the whole point of Christopher's patch to rely on
a buffer local value of org-outline-regexp?  I surely miss
something.

Thanks!
