There is no need to wrap the results into example blocks. They will
better be as is. Org export will take care about choosing what to
export: code, results, or both.

Let's discuss it in a separate thread. I will need to study the code a
bit more to understand what we promise in the manual vs. actual state of
the code.

I am a bit confused here. Did you hand-craft the results?

Please make #+RESULTS a separate paragraph. It may otherwise not be
correctly recognized.
