I've left out the preamble of the manual that defines the title, among
other things.  In general I'd thing Org would need to have a derived
export backend for the kind of manuals you are thingkning about that
took care about these things.

Yes, although you wouldn't want to use it in this case.  You'd have to
replicate its effect for all export targets you intend to use.

See, that's one thing no "unobtrusive" or "visual" markup can provide.
For Org, it seems that macros would be the way to go unless we'd come up
with yet another mechanism for semantic markup.
