Hmmm, that doesn't really make sense to me. Shouldn't the flow of

1. Edit a document with org-mode
2. (org-element-interpret-data (org-element-parse-buffer))

be as close to the original as possible? Seems like the fontification
aspect is just an implementation detail. In any case, I looked more into
the code and would be happy to submit a patch to change it if it makes
sense to you.
