Hi John,
The following is admittedly a power-user scenario, but other places
(other than text-mode) where I have turned on outline-minor-mode:
1. w3-mode in the past
2. eww-mode
Both of the above when reading ebooks from places like Project
Gutenberg.
In many of those instances, you can productively jump by chapter etc by
appropriately setting outline-regexp to something like "^CHAPTER" and
then using outline-minor-mode navigation commands.
