It is not possible in Org since one of the basic assumptions of the
UNNUMBERED property is that it is inherited from parent(s).  I think this
is the right design choice in most cases.  Perhaps it should be possible
to explicitly override this choice with something like the following:

* Course Outline
:PROPERTIES:
:UNNUMBERED: t
:END:
** Introduction
:PROPERTIES:
:UNNUMBERED: nil
:END:
some long multi paragraph text.
** Origins of the French Revolution
:PROPERTIES:
:UNNUMBERED: nil
:END:
more text. Readings.

Or introduce an explicit NUMBERED property (probably easier in code).
However, the numbering will likely be complicated as they are no longer
sub-numbered according to parent (i.e. the correct numbering is not 0.1,
0.2, 0.3 but 1, 2, 3).

Do you think this is generally useful or is this a one-off document?
