[Bug 22050] document outlining issues

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22050

--- Comment #1 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> ---
This whole outline business baffles me still - I wasn't there when it got
created, so I may be missing something.

Was there ever any attempt to learn from existing "table of contents"
approaches, such as the one employed in LaTeX:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Document_Structure#Table_of_contents ?

Why don't we have an element that can actually visually expose the outline of a
document? Something like <tableOfContents></tableOfContents>, which is filled
by the browser with the result of the outline algorithm.

I don't see much use of the outline algorithm unless it actually gets visually
exposed. Having an actual element for exposing the outline would force us to
implement it and fix it.
