You're right, I guess I just meant it wasn't explicit in your table.

I like the use of double M-RETs, I think that can be useful.

I still think C-RET should create a new heading at the end of the
subtree. A user setting to that effect is fine with me. I'd be happy
if C-RET at the beginning of a heading created a new headline above, but
in the middle or at the end I think it should still jump down and make a
new headline below all content.

Just to register my usage, as a single data point: I make heavy use of
both M-RET to create headings below point (very often to split a single
run of paragraphs into two subtrees), and C-RET to make headings below
subtree text. Very occasionally I use C-u C-u M-RET to make a "bottom
sibling". Very occasionally I use 'C-c *' to toggle heading.

Just two cents.
