I see.  That's probably OK.

You're the architect.  I just submit an occasional patch or bug-fix
(under much guidance).

I don't have a grand vision, but, ideally, I'd want M-RET to "do the
right thing", which is my book is often create an element similar to
element at point, and is certainly not but my #+begin_src emacs-lisp
code on a headline.  I agree the logical action is to the eye of the
beholder.  To me, some elements have a very clear-cut "next logical
thing" (item, headline, white space (headline), some keywords, maybe
tables), others don't (e.g. src-blocks and export blocks.).  IMO, we can
disable most of element-actions (literately keywords and tables) out of
the box, much like e.g. `scroll-left'.

Here's another of my pet-griefs


- a
- b

| → M-RET will give me an itme 
| → M-RET will give me a headline

Why is the behavior a function of amount of whitespace/newlines to
nearest element?  This makes not sense to me and goes against what I
want, namely act in accordance to element at point. . .
