in a long document I find the navigate table of contents very useful as it shows you the structure of your document and allows you to easily go into a part that you want to have another look at. Towards the end, one could put in some of the fancy stuff that lyx can do with the appropriate sty files. Things like picinpar bring an interesting element to close with. As I see it, you would need to have a small presentation and a two part demonstration. Anyway thats my two cents. It was a good idea to bring this up.
