That's fine.

So we could replace ^org with a mapping, e.g. "headline" → "sec:" and
"table" → "tab:".  Then there's the added safety of TYPE-NUMBER and the
expected prefix.

Mostly aesthetics.  "sec:4" is expected, though I have no numbers to back
this claim.

I would expect breakage following the change to be pretty rare, but one
example of breakage is fancyref:

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{fancyref}
    \begin{document}
    \section{h1}
    \label{sec:h1}
    \section{h2}
    \label{orgheading2}
    See \fref{sec:h1} and \fref{orgheading2}
    \end{document}

Given my taste for "standard" prefixes, I would rather not have to label
every section with some custom id to get a standard prefix in the output.
