Thanks for this explanation, Seb!

I wrote an FAQ about it:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#ecm

I also wrote up a few FAQs that might be helpful for new users:

- Can Org-mode do "x"? Does org have "x" feature? 
  + http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#can-org-do-x
  + Provides tips on where to look to see if org has a particular
    feature.
  + A friendly version of RTFM. :)

- I think my Org-mode is broken! How do I report a bug?
  + http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#bug-reporting

- What should I do before contacting the mailing list?
  + http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#when-to-contact-mailing-list

Please feel free to edit (or send me patches) as you see fit.

Best,
