+*** Some previously rough topic-header format edge cases are reconciled.
+Level 1 topics use the mode's comment format, and lines starting with the
+asterisk - for instance, the comment close of some languages (eg, c's "*/"
+or mathematica's "*)") - at the beginning of line are no longer are
+interpreted as level 1 topics in those modes.
+
+*** Many or most commonly occuring "accidental" topics are disqualified.
+Text in item bodies that looks like a low-depth topic is no longer mistaken
+for one unless its first offspring (or that of its next sibling with
+offspring) is only one level deeper.
+
+For example, pasting some text with a bunch of leading asterisks into a
+topic that's followed by a level 3 or deeper topic will not cause the
+pasted text to be mistaken for outline structure.
+
+The same constraint is applied to any level 2 or 3 topics.
+
+This settles an old issue where typed or pasted text needed to be carefully
+reviewed, and sometimes doctored, to avoid accidentally disrupting the
+outline structure.  Now that should be generally unnecessary, as the most
+prone-to-occur accidents are disqualified.
+
+*** Allout now refuses to create "containment discontinuities", where a
+topic is shifted deeper than the offspring-depth of its container.  On the
+other hand, allout now operates gracefully with existing containment
+discontinuities, revealing excessively contained topics rather than either
+leaving them hidden or raising an error.
