even more extreme:
** TODO Phone people and invite them
*** TODO invite aunt Minna
*** TODO invite uncle Ernst
*** TODO invite great uncle Karl
Workflow: thinking of 25 guys to invite, phoning those guys, and then
keeping track of who you did or did not reach.
(Last actual use case for me was when doing homework, I've read the
exercise, wrote a list of classes and methods while doing so, and then,
when actually programming, it would have been nice to be able to check
the finished stuff. Identical to the way I would have done it with
pencil and paper.)

For the "invite example" above I wouldn't even like to give each one his
own heading. (For those "checklets" I used C-u for not changing into
heading). Nor would I want those subitems to be "prominent fontyfied" as
TODOs are. Like for inviting a bunch of people I would consider just one
TODO the most adequate way.
Of course in most cases everything but splitting a TODO into smaller
TODOs would be confusing and bloat.
cheers,
Frank
