I also think that Outline View is essential, but it does not need to be more
complicated than necessary.

I propose these specifications for the outline view:
REQUIRED:
Ability to view headings down to any heading level.
Ability to promote/demote sections of the document.
Ability to collapse/expand view of particular sections of document.
Ability to move or delete whole sections of the document easily.
Text fields to be shown.
Math formulae (or their LaTex/OOO math text representation) to be shown.
Simple formatting (superscripts, bold, italic, underline, colour) to be
displayed (but not necessarily WYSIWYG - it is acceptable to simply display
markup codes if this makes the program easier to develop)
Hyperlinks should function.
Full search and replace ability.
Ability to switch to Page View with the cursor in the same position in the 
document.
Fast responsive viewing.
Ability to select/cut/copy/paste text using the mouse or keyboard.

NOT REQUIRED:
Different fonts are not required - all text can be viewed in the same font; in
fact even a pure PLAIN TEXT display with judicious use of colour and a fixed
width font is acceptable (like Vim, Emacs, Kile etc.).
Images do not need to be displayed.
Margins, page formatting, columns, justification etc. do not need to be 
displayed.
Table row/column widths do not need to be displayed accurately (in fact tables
could even be omitted and replaced by a [TABLE] tag or suchlike; clicking on the
tag would switch to Page View with the cursor in the table)

The people who need this don't care about eye candy - the outline view has to be
fast and easy to navigate but not necessarily pretty.
