I'm sorry, but this is just plain wrong. The whole problem is that in orgmode there is no real separation between model and view. Any "normal" interactive application reads its data from one or multiple file formats, transforms them to an internal representation, applies operations to this internal representation and transforms it again for the display. One can easily change the file format, internal representation or appearance without changing the other. In orgmode, it's basicly all one and the same. The model is the same as the file format, with some additional run-time-information such as which parts of the document are visible. And the view is the same as the model, with some fontification. That's why changing the appearance of the headlines would mean to change the model and--in the end--the file format as well. Which, as you correctly stated, would create a lot of new problems.
