I am wondering about a suitable approach. Maybe the use cases fit 
under something suitably termed 'Functional requirements" or 
"Functional requirements - use cases"

Also, the catalogue could entail a growing list of use cases e.g.

but the description or discussion that went along with it probably 
needs to be kept available, yes?

but I am less sure if the suggested implementations are worth

Therefore maybe a list at the top of the catalogue with each item 
anchored to text appended below the last list item, and/or a link to 
a pertinent posting at this list archive
e.g. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2004-08/msg00164.html
as has been done for the roadmap.

Sounds suitable?  Alternate ideas / suggestions welcome. I am 
on-service through Aug 31, I can catch up a little better in 
September.
