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.
