It's an Org function that grafts itself to narrow-map, which is globally available. I think it should try to have at least a sensible error message. The current "Before first headline" isn't quite clear (my patch doesn't address this, btw). >> It looked pretty easy to fix, so here is my suggestion, below.

If core Org functions only care about org-mode buffers, I guess it is hard to make a minor mode that reuses some of Org to do its job. Unless that mode is itself in the core of course. e.g. orgstruct-mode does that and it needs some "core support". Anyway, my goal isn't to discuss a whole org minor mode. -- Nico.
