The only "nogo" is to never modify (destructively) a value returned by `org-element-at-point' or `org-element-context'. Consider their return value as read-only, and possibly invalid as soon as you modify the buffer. These advices don't apply to `org-element-parse-buffer', which doesn't use cache (if it did, it should copy cached elements beforehand anyway). HTH, -- Nicolas Goaziou
