Yes, I am coming to that conclusion as well!

Thanks for the *very* detailed workflow.  Fantastic and I think it would
work well with my mode of operation.  I guess I was too stuck in the
/list/ mode and didn't even think of using outline nodes.  I don't mind
numbering them manually as we're talking about tens of actions over
several years (typically <10 per meeting with 3 meetings per year for
each individual "committee").  But, in any case, your code looks like
even this bit is easily automated.

What will work particularly well in my workflow will be the
todo-state-tag trigger part which I had not even realised could be done
(silly of me, of course ;-).  Tying the =closed= tag to the export
exclusion is so obvious in hindsight.

Again, many thanks for this and for your code as well.  I'll be
implementing it like right now!

PS - your whole workflow description might be very useful on Worg...
