The question is why "outline" is part of the vocabulary. What features of HTML use the "outline" function? If some other application or feature requires an "outline" feature in HTML, what are their requirements? Are they all the same? How can we judge whether the algorithm specified meets the requirements for an outline function if the requirements are not stated and cannot be derived from the rest of the spec? If the only uses of "outline" are CSS or external "outline" processors, is an HTML interpreter which doesn't support any of those still required to implement the "outline" algorithm specified? Why?
