I notice that OPML is oriented to the style of outline that consists of just headings (with optional attributes). However, a number of outliners (including the one I wrote on top of the Vim editor (see http://bike-nomad.com/vim/vimoutliner.html)) have allowed headings to have attached text blocks. I use this format to write text with interspersed headings. Whenever I want, I just extract the text and not the headings (or possibly include some of the headings).

What’s your feeling about this style of outlining?

What’s the proper way to represent this in OPML (presumably I could stick the text block in as an attribute…)? Is there a standard representation for this?
