I think there are quite a few, but here's one example. I keep a heading with a list of links to potentially interesting articles that I don't have time to process at the moment when I encounter them. I capture new links (with no description) as items under this heading. I don't want to use a separate heading for each link because I don't want to think about a name to give the heading. I just want a list of links where I can check off items when I get around to visiting them. > They feel rather like a violation of the principle of least surprise > to me, because when you use them, and then try to use pretty much any > other Org feature on them (marking them as a TODO item, tagging, etc.) > it doesn't work because lists aren't meant to be used that way. That is pretty much how I decide. If I think I need heading-specific features, I use headings. -- Kyle
