I am already using auc-tex's minor outline mode, and it's great.
However, it doesn't provide a mechanism to narrow-to-region by
section, subsection, or any other arbitrary grouping, which I often find
handy.

If one uses (set-variable (quote page-delimiter) "^%%"), navigation
through pages delimited by "%%" is possible using C-x ] and C-x [.  Do
"C-h a page" for more functions. I am not pretending that this is a
substitute for the auc-tex's outline mode.

Auc-tex is highly recommended.
