Actually, the outline algorithm is currently up on the "at risk" list. So I don't think that we should be removing anything that relies on it without having removed the actual source. I therefore suggest that if we do remove the outlining algo at the end of the spec, we should likely remove this advice as well. But not sooner. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
