I think Org already puts some care into preserving file-local variables at the end of the buffer, e.g., when moving around headlines. Maybe the issues you're encountering can be fixed the same way. Adding page delimiter in `org-outline-regexp' is clearly not subtle enough in any case, as it would affect every headline, not only the last one in the buffer. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
