Thanks! Your mini-essay gave me enough impetus to start working on an outlineDocument reader-writer in earnest.

Some ideas for fodder for outline documents:

1) circle of friends (and their friends, etc. etc.)

2) structure of a web page

3) structure of a web site

4) structure of an interdependant series of websites

5) structure of the flow of a site (the site architecture/taskflow)

6) the interdependant structure of a series of CSS styles in a site

7) driving directions (I know now to get to point B from A, and my friend knows how to get to point C from B, so link them up)

8) all the files I touched today on my HD

9) my mail filter rules

10) the structure of a javascript document

11) a site map

12) where all the images are on my HD - and their type

13) a newsgroup discussion

14) a dmoz directory

15) a recipe

16) an AI decision tree

17) the possible restaurants nearby that I would like, given my coords via a GPS system, and my taste in food.

18) a simplified mozilla application - to be used for auto-generation of an application from simple objects.
