my Tcl-foo is less weak now, and the "canonical titles in bold" was
tried in [2a8dd751]
(http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/2a8dd751/www/permutedindex.html
for an impression).

After feedback that the canonical titles stick out too much now, a
separate list of canonical titles was tried in [66920879]
(http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/66920879/www/permutedindex.html
for an impression - canonical titles follow the original permited
index).

Another suggestion was to move the list of canonical titles in front
of the original permuted index - which sounds perfect to me.

Is this something you like? Feedback is welcome.
