I was thinking something more along the lines of an outline or  
categories -- anything to give it some organization so you could find  
what you were looking for.

Imagine designing a product and handing a customer that URL and  
saying, "Here's the documentation.  Have fun!"  Those "word map"  
things are goofy, IMHO.  It's all there "somewhere", but where?

Even stranger?  Quicken wants to put a similar tool into the next Mac  
version of Quicken (not called Quicken anymore, I guess) to look at  
categories of your personal finance.

Sounds horrible.  I hope it doesn't make it into the final product,  
but it probably will.  It "looks cool" until you actually try to use  
it, so I bet it gets into the final release, but... yuck.
