Sorry, I found the references after the mail.

It is exactly as you said, valid. However, and I may be getting
something else incorrectly, pdflatex has problems with those as it works
out of the box (C-c C-e l o in org), since internal links are broken and
the ToC is not generated. 

It seems a special export case and it's documented, just not obvious for
the begginer.

With that option, it works wonderfully. :)))

Thanks a lot...
