I think it makes sense to not override the background because otherwise
the heading can look visually "broken". See attached screenshot for an
example: it is called "demo-org-heading-with-background.png". In that
screenshot I include an overline for the heading, to show how this is
not limited to the background colour but extends to all face attributes.
To this end, I also attach "demo-org-heading-with-more-height.png" which
shows how the date is not scaling to match the heading's increased text
height.

All the best,
Protesilaos (or simply "Prot")
