Charles, Nick, thanks for the tip of using filters.

As far as I can see it requires version 8 of org-mode to be installed. Am I right?
I am using now 7.8.11.

I'll try to install a new version and check out filters.

OK - I don't think you can do this with org-latex-classes: there is no
provision for exceptional cases there. Charles Berry suggested filters:
maybe something can be done with that.

FWIW, I would just wait until the last minute and then when it's time to
produce the final pdf, I'd replace the two headlines by hand - but that
assumes that the document is a one-off, do-it-once-and-never-again kind
of thing.
