Well, I do sometimes indent text but not often so this aspect is fine
with the org-indent-mode.

The odd-levels issue is really a non-issue.  Given the new
org-indent-mode, it's not really needed (if I correctly interpreted
the output I got!) so it would simply be a matter of converting my org
files to odd+even headings.

But I'll wait until I'm fully Emacs 23 before I even think about this!
And that might be a long time as it depends on somebody building Emacs
23 for the Nokia N8x0 tablets.
