There are interesting ways to break away from traditional document
structure using inline-tasks, which (without keywords) are really
inline "headlines" that don't break structure.
See the discussion which starts here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/40597
It branches a bit, but you can use gmane's search to track the
discussion if you want more info.
