If the issue is the label shown in the dropdown box for "Outline Level" in the
Outline & List tab (a focus in the OP), then I agree that it could be
meaningful to change the label "Text Body" in the assigning an outline level. 
Propose "[None]" as the first option in dropdown box.
(i.e., "Text Body" -> "[None]")

Then Text Body PS and Default PS would have outline level "[None]" 

The definition of "Heading" would become:

   Any paragraph with an outline level different than "None" is a heading.

Should not give any comprehension or translation problems.

- "[None]" would also be consistent with "Promote Outline Level" command (i.e.,
cannot Promote 1 to None);
- "None" is used in many other places in the UI when nothing is applied (e.g.,
character style, numbering).
- "None" would appropriately break the association between the document
(outline) structure and a PS with outline level [None].  
- Would explain why "None" does not appear as a "level" in the Heading
Numbering dialog. 

About "no heading"

Maybe "no heading" was proposed to be parallel to "No List" (in Outline &
List)?
But "no heading" inverts the semantic relation between "outline level" and
"heading".  Outline level is a paragraph attribute, used for different purposes
(e.g., to assign index levels), not only to define "heading".
