Peter -

HTML (or better yet, XML/XSL) would lend itself nicely to being rendered on a variety of output display devices. In the case of browser displays and perhaps PDAs, Javascript seems a natural to handle the expansion/collapse of outline headings.

Except for the simple case of replacing the outline program and GUI with a browser, it seems that we are looking at a client/server implementation. One or more browsers could simultaneously be updating various parts of an outline. This could be an interesting project.

Personally, I would like to see an outliner that was a natural extension to the XML model - they seem to fit together very well.
