Description of problem:
It would be great if my current location was highlighted in the right-hand side
Doc Tree so I could tell where I am in the overall context of my document.

For example, if I click in say, the "Screen" area in the ShmooMaker sample
file, the part of the DocTree in which it is contained should automatically
expand, so that I can see where I am. In other words, the docbookScreen element
in the Tree should be highlighted with all of its direct parent tags expanded.

Should it collapse when you leave it? Otherwise you will end up with teh whole
tree expanded over time.

If it collapses when you leave it, it will not be possible to leave something
expanded for quick reference or bookmarking.

Good points. I just looked at Serna. It keeps the whole thing expanded by the
default, though you can manually collapse the sections. If you click on a para
in a collapsed section, it automatically expands once more.
