Thanks! 

Yes, what mmp says makes sense: The author wants to show all the main topics of
the book; and let the reader select any node of interest and drill down. This is
am excellent point. After all, the bookmark pane is to navigate; so "show all"
is a good starting point.

But there are two exceptions: 

(a) Some authors may like to draw the reader's attention to the DETAILS in the
initial chapters. They think that the later part of the tree is relevant only
when the reader comes to it. If a reader wants to peek ahead, he can always
scroll down in the bookmark pane.

(b) The total number of nodes in the bookmarks tree will very widely from
document to document. So the "expand the tree to show around 32 modes" logic
will yield quite different results. For example, large documents typically have
4-8 sections (at level-1) and 25-40 chapters (at level-2). So, by default,
Writer may show only the "sections", and hide all the "chapters". The author may
not like that.

The following will take care of both these approaches:
Let the algorithm calculate how many levels will get accommodated within a
screen. Offer that figure as default level to the author. Let the author change
it if he wants more/less details.
