It sure sounds good.  However, you might want to try the full
generality of using outlines with your LaTeX document.  Outline mode
substitutes selected text with three dots, based on the structure of
your document.  Some example:

Get overview of the document:

	\begin{document}...
	\chapter{one}...
	\chapter{two}...
	\chapter{three}...

Examine the structure of chapter two:

	\begin{document}...
	\chapter{one}...
	\section{a}...
	\subsection{ax}...
	\subsection{ay}...
	\section{b}...
	\subsection{bx}...
	\chapter{two}...
	\chapter{three}...

Start editing section ax:

	\begin{document}...
	\chapter{one}...
	\section{a}...
	\subsection{ax}
	bla bla bla bla;
	also blah blah and blah.
	\subsection{ay}...
	\section{b}...
	\subsection{bx}...
	\chapter{two}...
	\chapter{three}...

You can open or close sections, get a list of subsections, etc.

Outline mode also allows you to navigate in a LaTeX document based on
the sections.  You can move a level up, to next or previous section,
or to next or previous section on the same level.

An outline (minor) mode witch works well with LaTeX documents is a
part of the AUC TeX distribution, and available for anonymous ftp at
the site iesd.auc.dk (130.225.48.4) in the file
/pub/emacs-lisp/auc-tex.3.0.tar.Z
