When a node has a payload and children the user can easily miss that payload, since the outline only shows the children. The payload can be viewed with the "View Node" option, but I would like something better.

One idea I have been playing with is to implement the outline as an ExpandableList. When nodes have payloads, they could present a small arrow on the right in the outline. When the user clicks that arrow, the payload could be expanded in similar fashion as the ExpandableLists from Android. As an added bonus, those sub-lists could be formated in a way that each checklist entry is displayed in it's own clickable cell. Clicking on that cell would toggle the checkbox item.

I have been playing with different adapters, but it still need to work more on this to create a proper implementation.
