Nevertheless, I like the idea of a special tag to designate the top
level export. Call it :master:. The first headline with the tag
:master: would cause export actions to default to that subtree. That
way one would be able to edit deep inside the master subtree or
outside of it and still easily and consistently generate the correct
document. It would also help with exporting from emacs/org in batch
mode without a user to put point at the correct subtree location.

Correct. C-u works and I have what I need for now. What I ended up
doing is placing the contents of the export tree into an INCLUDE file.
I duplicate all of the export header options in that file. So my
workflow is simply to edit that document and process it for export
without using the subtree option from the parent. It does break the
convenience of keeping everything together in one file.
