--- Comment #25 from RGB <[email protected]> ---
I'm reopening this issue to discuss the viability of the recently implemented
solution:

1- As shown in Bug 163650, the use of frames to simulate inline headings
creates problems when those headings are numbered. Because every single example
I've ever came across for "inline headings" uses numbering, this issue alone
renders the proposed solution invalid.

2- Specially when using multi-column layout, a normal heading could easily take
more than one line, breaking the text flow and making the proposed solution non
functional (the frame will take the whole paragraph width, pushing the
following text to the next line and breaking the "inline" feature).

3- The proposed solution is not a proper one, but a workaround. The only way to
achieve a proper solution would be a change in how Writer processes paragraphs,
allowing a paragraph break without a line break (LaTeX does exactly that). 

I know that ODF does not, at the moment, allows the implementation of a proper
solution, but workarounds should not be presented as proper solutions, even if
there are no proper solutions in sight, because workarounds *always* break. And
as discussed above, this particular workaround breaks quite easily. For that
reason I ask the developers to consider retracting the patch.

Workarounds (there are more than one for this issue) could be packaged as
extensions.
