If we go with this I would rather see the syntax as:
 
 <UL FOLDED=NO LABEL="W3 Designs">
   <LI><UL FOLDED=NO>HTML Stuff
       <LI>Stuff a.
       <LI>Stuff b.
       </UL>
   <LI><UL FOLDED=YES>HTTP Stuff
       <LI>Stuff a.
       <LI>Stuff b.
       </UL>
   <LI><UL FOLDED=YES>More Stuff
       <LI>Stuff.
       <LI>Stuffy.
       </UL>
 </UL>
This would allow multiline labels, entities and images.

But I would rather see a more general purpose mechanism
that would allow arbitrary URL's to be expanded within
the document.
