Agreed.

But now that I think about it, org mode simply should avoid narrow-map
completely : users (me included) won't randomly try to run
org-narrow-to-subtree outside of org buffers (and those who do deserve a
bad error message) but they might want to give "C-x n s" a try if it is
available.

While writing a patch for changing that, I see that the code is:
(if (boundp 'narrow-map)
    (org-defkey narrow-map "s" 'org-narrow-to-subtree)
  (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-xns" 'org-narrow-to-subtree))
(if (boundp 'narrow-map)
    (org-defkey narrow-map "b" 'org-narrow-to-block)
  (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-xnb" 'org-narrow-to-block))
(if (boundp 'narrow-map)
    (org-defkey narrow-map "e" 'org-narrow-to-element)
  (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-xne" 'org-narrow-to-element))

IOW, org.el purposely binds in narrow-map ! So now I don't get it :
either it's in narrow-map and should be usable widely, or it's in
org-mode-map only for org-mode files.
