Always and never would > override that. As I said, this would add an indirection level to an already complicated topic. Moreover, toggles in the export interface are never duplicates from in-buffer settings, so far. This would set a precedent, and might be a sign that this isn't right. > Consider the scenario where a number of people are working on a common > overall "book" which is constructed from many org-files.

Why would you add :eval no-export to every block in the first place? In this situation, there should be a global setting, which could be overridden locally with appropriate header arguments. Having a global way, even dynamic, to override every setting in the buffer doesn't seem very useful. It is imprecise; some blocks could still be used to set up export process. I assume there's a good reason if a source code block specifies :eval yes. > Part of my confusion was that it took a little bit to figure this out > (I ended up debugging the lisp code to get what I wanted).

If I were, I'd propose something for the org manual. I think the starting point is in (info "(org) Exporting Code Blocks"). Improvements to the manual are welcome, of course.
