If we still want to explore dynamically loading article sections (which we all seemed to be in favor of when we did annual planning back in June), it's hard for me to imagine how we could realistically pull that off if we display sections uncollapsed as default.
We could rig up an "infinite scroll" type of situation, where we basically:
* load section 0 and section 1 * leave placeholder <div>s for sections 2 and beyond * when the user scrolls down into section 1, start loading section 2 in the background ** prepare the same thing for the bottom of section 2 load section 3, etc...
Of course a problem with this setup is that if you go offline partway through reading the article, the later sections might be unavailable when you scroll down to them.

I didn't followed the thread, but if you try to consult the french wiktionary with the mobile interface it's impossible: section title are links so when you try to uncollapse them, you follow the link.

I like the idea of expanding by default because it fixes my pet peev of not being able to do a find on page from my mobile browser without first expanding all sections.

How about a button for toggling sections? So if they're collapsed, it expands them, if they're expanded, it collapses them. Not sure what it would do if only some sections are expanded, but we could figure this out.
