I'm a little hazy, partially because my ideas seem to change quickly as
I learn more.
One of the more ambitious things that I'd like to do is to be able to
associate BibTeX references with a headlines in a way such that they are
collected at the level of the frame-headline and then rendered uniformly
in the page footers.

At least so far, it's no so much a question of "can't", as a matter of

Another example would be the use of a subtitle.

I have a preference for the "cleaner" version and wanted to implement it
in a way that it likely to age well as org development progresses.
