@blake, @joebuhlig, thanks a lot.

I have created [a prototype](http://www.utopiaedit.com/) to showcase the idea. I am in the process of simplifying the UX, re-engineering the whole stuff and planning for version 1.

I would like to pursue the `iframe` idea further :

Has anyone embedded a **topic list** instead of a **comment list**? What if I use categories as unique identifiers for document sub-parts? I could then use the appropriate url (for example : `https://mydiscourse.com/c/document-sub-part-id`) to show only the relevant topics. But will it then be easy to hide all the unnecessary banners and buttons to show only a clean topic list ?
