allout.el has a great setup for this - when the cursor is at a
headline's "hotspot" (on the '#' in, for example, ".#3 header"), 'n' and
'p' can be used to navigate through the visible headers, landing on each
header's '#'.  From the hotspot you can also cycle visibility with 'h'
(hide) and 's' (show).

Every time I navigate among headers in orgmode, I miss this allout
functionality.
