Ok. I think I've figured out what's going on, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

By the time this function is called, we are in some kind of temporary
buffer that will eventually become the .html file (or whatever).  This
buffer has already been heavily modified buy the time this is called,
and the notes are no longer recognizable to
planner-notes-get-headlines.

I can think of two solutions.

1. Switch to the .muse buffer while calling
planner-notes-get-headlines.  I don't know how to find the name of
this buffer.  Is there some planner or muse function that returns
this?

2. Write something similar to planner-notes-get-headline that
understands the current transformed-to-xml buffer.

Any suggestions?
