I realised that we can't have a very good discussion about this without
seeing what the idea is from a concrete point of view, so I started
drumming up some kind of a mockup about my proposal.

I've uploaded it to trunk/ubuntu/index-test/C

Have a look at it in yelp and see what you think. I've included some
comments in index.xml about what I envisage would make up the content of
each section.

As a reminder, the idea is drafted out here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/HelpfulHelpVersionMinusOne

Taking the decision to go in this direction would be quite a big
decision so we should discuss it and think about it carefully.
