Hi Nicolas,

The first patch implements the changes. I took the liberty to show entry of its 
ancestors
too (4 in the test case). Many users, I believe, rarely put text there, so it 
does not
make a difference. But when someone write short notes at this location, I think 
it serves
as brief "contextual" information for all its children, our target headline 
included. It
may indicate the intention to include contextual information in output too, so 
I go with
such guess. If user does not want it to be included, it is easier for him to 
work around
(e.g., by creating a new heading and put text under), than the other way 
around, that is,
to reveal text one by one.

The second patch suggests how it can be integrated with `org-sparse-tree' in 
the manual. I
think the new option, as the first visibility option to show subtree, would make
`visible-only' option a lot more useful. Whether to include it in the manual I 
leave it to
your consideration.

Lastly I'd like to say thanks as a daily Org user, thank you for putting time in
overseeing the project. Your efforts are appreciated by many :)

Regards,
Yiufung
