Right.  

But you got the idea: use `org-forward-element' when moving
within structural elements of various kinds make sense and use
`forward-paragraph' otherwise.

It is predictable, but sometimes counter-intuitive: for example, when
on the first headline, C-up will throw an error instead of moving to
the top of the buffer.

Also, it is predictable but not reversible: hitting C-down three times
then C-up three times will not always go back to the point where the
user was at the beginning.
