Pei's suggestion of folded lists is an interesting one:

I think FOLDED would read better, e.g.

<UL FOLDED=NO LABEL="W3 Designs">
  <LI><UL FOLDED=NO LABEL="HTML Stuff">
      <LI>Stuff a.
      <LI>Stuff b.
      </UL>
  <LI><UL FOLDED=YES LABEL="HTTP Stuff">
      <LI>Stuff a.
      <LI>Stuff b.
      </UL>
  <LI><UL FOLDED=YES LABEL="More Stuff">
      <LI>Stuff.
      <LI>Stuffy.
      </UL>
</UL>

Surely this is a sufficiently general mechanism which should apply
to other elements e.g. OL, DL, FORM and DIVn ?

Best wishes,
