One problem is that you typically want planning information and property/logbook drawer of a headline to be indented, while you don't want the subtree *text* to be indented. >From master, you can test (setq org-adapt-indentation 'headline-data) To get this behavior. I think it should be the default, but (1) it should be heavily tested first via a major release and (2) other users may think otherwise, this needs to be carefully discussed first. Thanks, -- Bastien
