    By default, Outline mode is harmless and doesn't require to know its
    keys to read the Help buffer.  Advanced users should know Outline keys
    to use it and to hide/show uninteresting parts.

If the point is to make the less interesting parts less visible to start
with (so, less distracting), then Outline mode would help only if it hid
such stuff, by default.

Why not just do what the OP suggested: list the section titles in the
beginning, linked to the sections themselves (exactly as in the *Help*
buffer). That would be perfect. Such an approach is common both on the Web
and in technical documents (e.g. reference-book chapters): a preliminary TOC
with links.
