The above, and the "accolade workaround" (in front of the LaTeX environment),
work fine in some cases.

Though, here is a relatively simple Org file that exposes some of the problems
I'm still confronted with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE:     Spanish manual
#+AUTHOR:    Me
#+EMAIL:     address@hidden
#+DATE:      2010-01-18
#+OPTIONS:   H:4 num:t toc:nil
#+LaTeX_CLASS: article

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{xcolor}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{fancybox}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{tikz}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usetikzlibrary{shapes,calc}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newenvironment{etiket} {\fboxsep 10pt 
\begin{Sbox}\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}} 
{\end{minipage}\end{Sbox}\shadowbox{\TheSbox}}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newcommand{\rfill}{{\leavevmode \color{blue!80}\leaders \hrule 
height 0.7pt\hfill} \\}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newcommand{\rsh}{{\color{blue!80}\rule{0.7cm}{0.7pt}}}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newcommand{\titlebox}[3]{\begin{tikzpicture}[every text node 
part/.style={text centered}] \node[rectangle split, rectangle split parts=2, 
rectangle split part fill={blue!50,white}, line width=0.5mm, draw=blue, text 
width=#1, rounded corners](rs) {#2 \nodepart{second} #3}; \end{tikzpicture}}


* Table in LaTeX environment

#+BEGIN_etiket
Nombre y apellidos del estudiante: \rfill
Día(s) de la semana que tiene clase y de qué hora a qué hora:
| lunes              | martes             | miércoles          | jueves         
    |
| de \rsh{} a \rsh{} | de \rsh{} a \rsh{} | de \rsh{} a \rsh{} | de \rsh{} a 
\rsh{} |
#+END_etiket

  Here, you just see a nice result of mixing a table and a LaTeX
  environment... Excellent!!!


* List items

  DECIR
    - presentarse
    - saludar
    - despedirse

  Here, though, I can't get such *list items* framed, what ever workaround I'm
  trying to use.

\titlebox{8cm}{DECIR}{
  - presentarse
  - saludar
  - despedirse
}

#+LaTeX: \titlebox{8cm}{LEER}{
  - las instrucciones en clase
  - algunos letreros públicos
#+LaTeX: }

#+LaTeX: {}\titlebox{8cm}{ESCRIBIR}{
  - el nombre y apellido
  - cuándo uno tiene clase (días de la semana)
  - quién es el profesor
#+LaTeX: }

#+LaTeX: {}\titlebox{8cm}{OBJETIVOS GRAMATICALES}{
  | - singular de SER y de LLAMARSE |
  | - ¿Cómo?                        |
  | - ¿Quién?                       |
#+LaTeX: }


* Other table

  Here, I'm trying to use the "accolades" workaround for allowing Org to
  interpret what will be inside LaTeX environments.

#+LaTeX: {}\titlebox{8cm}{El presente (singular): Llamarse y ser.}{
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: align=p{4cm}p{4cm}
  | *LLAMARSE*              | *SER*            |
  | *Me llam\rsh{}* Isabel. | *\rsh{}* Isabel. |
  | ¿Cómo *te llam\rsh{}?*  | ¿Quién *eres*?   |
  | *Se llam\rsh{}* Ana.    | *\rsh{}* Ana.    |
#+LaTeX: }

  Though, it fails converting the above table to a LaTeX table.

  *Removing the ATTR LaTeX line* allows a conversion to a compilable LaTeX
  document, but, still, the table is not converted.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any idea of how to get these working?

Best regards,
  Seb
