Seems to work for me. I use docbook with sectN elements, so I had to add 
sect[1-9] to the nxml-section-element-name-regexp. Maybe you should add 
something similar to the default regexp.

Would it be possible to add more keys when on an outline line, like + and - to 
expand/colapse things? I don't know exactly what's allowed by the Emacs 
conventions, but easier to type keys would be handy.

Nice to have some section/heading things that we can share with the speedbar 
code.
