Greetings all,

In the WCAG 2.0 working draft, there are two terms that I am completely
unfamiliar with (the terms "expanding outlines" and "dynamic fisheye
views") and that I would appreciate clarification on or examples of.
For reference, see the following excerpt taken from glossary[1].

In an expanding outline, the user can choose whether to view all the
subtopics listed under a given heading. Commercial word processors like
MS Word have this feature.  

A fish-eye view is like holding a magnifying glass over a specific
portion of the site map. That portion is enlarged; other parts of the
outline become smaller but remain (at least theoretically) available.

"Site Navigation Mechanism

A site navigation mechanism is a mechanism for easily orienting and
moving about within the site. Site navigation mechanisms include but are
not limited to:

- a home page with hyperlinks on it and subsequent pages that link to
the other pages at the site
- site map(s)
- search engine(s)
- expanding outline(s)
- dynamic fisheye views showing all linked pages or topics related to
any page.
- 3-D virtual representations of site content"
