Thanks for your reply:

>In what context would you use it?

Two main uses:
1. Dynamic, user-controlled site maps for www sites
2. Navigating outline-oriented documents for use by
groups on an intranet (PIMs, Project Planning)

>there is very little semantically valid
>(or syntactically valid) HTML out there

There are certainly a lot of non-conforming web pages,
but many sites do use headings and lists appropriately.
That's why some graphics-mode programs already support
outline views of HTML: the w3c's Amaya browser has a
"Table of Contents" view; StarOffice has a Navigator
window; and MS Word provides two outline-oriented views.

As the premier text-mode browser, Lynx could extend outline
support to console terminals. But: is Lynx modular enough to
support an alternate Outline View?
