AFAIK, "inline-tasks" don't have to have headlines. For instance:

,----[ org-inlinetask example ]
| *************** NOTES
| Test note with a headline word.
| *************** END
|
| ***************
| Test note with blank headline.
| *************** END
`----

exports to ASCII as:

,----[ ASCII export ]
|      -- NOTES
|          ¦ Test note with a headline word.
|
|      --
|          ¦ Test note with blank headline.

That's out of my depth. Maybe someone else has a suggestion?

No problem. As a note for others searching on this, I'll just go ahead
and re-iterate that if you don't want a particular inline-task to be
printed, just add the :noexport: tag to the headline.

Sebastian, or others: One is able to add properties to inline-style
headlines correct? John could add an HTML container class property and
use a stylesheet to play with HTML export, including "indentation",
but I don't know if there is any equivalent help from the LaTeX
exporter.
