I assume that people that use Outline mode proper would know (and like)
the TAB action.  But it's pretty obscure if you haven't been exposed to
it before, which happens a lot with outline-minor-mode.

whether to use SVG or not can be reused here?

I'm unable to reproduce that, but point movement in the *Help* buffer
when using outline mode is really odd.  Due to the invisible overlays?
