It could be that in fact we need a new view that is based on css+extensions as Wendell suggested, though it seems like adding a switch to hide unmatched leaves in filtered results in the outline view would be a smaller, easier to implement feature.
A new view, or an ability to vertically split a document in Author mode and align the two (or more) panes so they scroll together -- which, of course, may amount to the same thing. While I can't speak to what's easier or harder to implement, it does seem that oXygen is nearly there. In fact, as it happens, an associate of mine was just telling me of his joy at discovering the CSS switching feature (and how he stayed up half the night writing CSS to take advantage of it). This feature would build on that.
Please do continue to explore the issue and consider the perspective of writers working on a long document or topic where they want to see a nav-pane like table of contents/tree-view of the headings without being distracted by other content. I have to say it's a limitation I've noticed and more than one writer has mentioned it to me.
