It's nice to be able to globally turn on font-lock mode; on a similar
note, it would be nice to be able to turn on outline-minor-mode
globally -- rather than setting mode-specific hooks to turn on
outline-minor-mode.
Is there any risk in globalizing outline-minor-mode?

Wouldn't it really just be applicable in text-mode derived buffers? I have a
hard time seeing its value when turned on for dired, Gnus, *Help*,
compilation, etc.

Actually I wouldn't expect it to be very much used in text-mode buffers.
These use-cases are probably better supported by outline-mode or org-mode.
But maybe
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'outline-minor-mode)
covers Raman's needs?

Hi John,
The following is admittedly a power-user scenario, but other places
(other than text-mode) where I have turned on outline-minor-mode:
1. w3-mode in the past
2. eww-mode
Both of the above when reading ebooks from places like Project
Gutenberg.
In many of those instances, you can productively jump by chapter etc by
appropriately setting outline-regexp to something like "^CHAPTER" and
then using outline-minor-mode navigation commands.

outline-minor-mode would be nice in prog-modes -- but there many of the
needs are served by selective display since programming languages
usually rely on indentation to show structure visually.
