I do not mind that horizontal line is more suitable as a separator.
However to avoid ambiguous markup I prefer some way to make intentions
explicit even by the price of more verbose markup. After all, it may
allow to add more rules to org-lint.

Notice that headlines have highest priority, so proposed changes might

(It is safer to add leading comma =,*****=.)
From my point of view, heading without titles are inconvenient just
because they they give no hints concerning text when they are collapsed.
I do not have strong opinion whether syntax should be changed. I do not
like that both variants may be fragile in practice.
