    Martin,

    Looks good! (to the extent I am able to follow it.) Would anything in
    your proposal have an adverse impact on the future implementation of a
    feature like collapsible outlining? (I don't think so, but I'd like to
    ask.)

    As I imagine it, one way to implement collapsible outlining simply
    requires (among other things) that we are able to hide paragraphs
    (lines) of text and have (visible) paragraphs below them "roll up" to
    cover the empty spaces.

    For example, if we had a document like this:

    A Heading
    B Heading
       B.1 Heading
          Text
       B.2 Heading
          Text
    C Heading

    And we chose to collapse the outline to only show level 1 headings, it
    should then look like:

    A Heading
    B Heading
    C Heading
