This should be possible now -- I've done a fairly thorough examination
of the Org-babel code and tried to ensure that *everything* works well
with indentation.

It's very possible I've introduced some bugs in the process, please let
me know if you find any.

This is another feature which may not be well enough advertised.

If a code block is named, then we already allow the block and it's
results to live arbitrarily far apart as long as they're in the same
buffer e.g. [1].

That allows for separation of code and results which I think is an
important feature.

What I don't want to separate by too far is the

  #+results: name

line, and the actual results.  Mainly because the purpose of that
#+results: line is to identify the results.  Given that I think allowing
a continuous string of comment lines between a #+results and it's target
e.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+results: time
# some comment about the time
: Thu Jun 10 14:48:09 2010
: Thu Jun 10 14:47:58 2010
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

is acceptable, but I think allowing arbitrary distance between them
subverts the purpose of the #+results: line.

I hope that sheds some light on this issue.

Please let me know if you agree/disagree of if you do think comment
separation like the above does make sense, in which case I'll add it to
the queue.

Cheers -- Eric

Thanks, it's always a please hacking on Org-mode. -- Eric
