With the following org file:

Foo
In which foos are described.
#+OPTIONS: num:nil author:nil creator:nil timestamp:nil d:nil toc:nil skip:t
#+TITLE:

I found exporting to ASCII gave five leading blank lines. The
following patch reduces that to one. (I'd love some help in tracking
down that final one.)
Many different people want to set many different variables in a
buffer-local way for export. This cannot be done with file variables,
because the Org buffer is not current while the exporter is running.
Lots of variables can be set with the #+OPTIONS lines, but finding
abbreviations goes only so far.
Therefore we have now a general mechanism that can be used to bind
variables during export operations.
a line like: #+BIND: variable value
will bind the variable to value. For example,
the line
>> #+OPTIONS: toc:nil
can now equivalently be written as
>> #+BIND: org-export-with-toc nil
All export commands now push the result to the kill ring by default.
This is subject to the variable `org-export-push-to-kill-ring'.
Also, this commit adds a new variable
`org-export-show-temporary-export-buffer' which can be used to turn
off the display of the temporary buffer containing the exported text.
Since this stuff is now automatically pushed onto the kill ring, some
people might prefer not to see this buffer.

There is now, `C-c C-e A'.
This commit also implements commands
- org-export-as-ascii-to-buffer
- org-replace-region-by-ascii
- org-export-region-as-ascii
which are similar to what is available for HTML and LaTeX.
`C-c C-e A' used to be the key for publishing all projects.
This functionality has now been moved to `C-c C-e E'.
