In this thread there was a solution for highlighting the whole
header line, so it stands out more from the buffer text:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/15721/
This solution was a bit too heavy, because it affected all header
lines, and I didn't want all headers to be so conspicuous

No, it doesn't break it, because there are other builtin keys for
