Carsten, Thank you for the very clear explanation. I like this option that you suggested:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key org-mode-map [(control ?<)] 'org-promote-subtree)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control ?>)] 'org-demote-subtree)))
It makes outline mode adapt to the new age (org mode).
