I find that merely binding outline-toggle-children to TAB makes
outline-mode instantly more usable (as far as reading goes).  It's not
as featureful as org-mode's org-cycle, but it makes browsing e.g. NEWS
much more enjoyable IME.

FWIW I agree that whipping out org-mode just to get single-key cycling
feels a bit heavy-handed.  Cf. the current discussion on emacs-devel:
this would be a good opportunity to generalize a feature of org-mode
(here, section cycling) by extracting it (here, to outline-mode and
outline-minor-mode).
