Aloha Alan,
IMHO, yes, this makes good sense. It is probably a good idea to name
the org-export-latex-class something associated with the output you
want from org-mode, rather than with the LaTeX class that is used to
typeset it.
All the best,
Tom

Perhaps I can get this done, but I have one important question.
When I define a new "class" in org-export-latex-classes, does it
make sense to add a new class that calls the same /
documentclass{article} class? I could name this class article2, and
define the section structure as I will.
Hope this is not a silly question. MY head feels dense today,
Alan

As you'll see org-mode's latex export is currently designed to use
org for basic document structuring and only allows for a limited set
of mappings between org's structure and latex structure. But you'll
see in the latex configuration documentation that it is possible to
define what kind of \section{}, \chapter{}, or \subsubparagraph{} is
exported for each level of org's headlines.
One imagines it would be possible to define alternate use cases for
a class, for example the "article" class. I can see it is possible
to define the article class to use
\\section{%s} for the first headline level
and
\\paragraph{%s} for second levels
This would be useful to me. However, the ordinary article
structure with subsection, subsubsection, etc., is good enough for
much of what I do. I can imagine copying the article class file
into my org directory, and renaming it to article2.cls, and adding
it to org-export-latex-classes, with the section -> paragraph
structure.
Is there an easier or canonical way to do this?
Thank you for your interest and help.
Alan

Some examples might help. I may be particularly dense tonight but I
have
read your mail a few times and I still have no idea what you are
asking
(or rather I have multiple ideas, none of which make much sense to
me.)
Thanks,
Nick
