The Point: These outliner elements are temporary scaffolding using in
construction. At the end of construction, most of the scaffolding is taken
away.

At Fujitsu (the use case in comment #2), I first typed up my notes, mostly as
single text lines, no structure. 

The headers were scaffolding for building the house. When the house was built,
I took the scaffolding away. To work this way, the lines of text have to be
entirely independent of the headers.

The outliner functionality is mostly just scaffolding that exists for the
process of construction. Once the construction is done, it is removed. The
scaffolding is mostly a construction tool only.

A working outliner for me is NOT a presentation tool. It's a construction tool,
(though elements are sometimes used in presentation).

For fiction, almost all of this scaffolding will be later deleted. The outliner
provides temporary containers to enable me to move text into appropriate boxes
and then move those boxers into larger boxes. And then I move the larger boxes
into crates. 

After I have completely organized all of the crates, large boxes, small boxes,
and smaller containers, then I delete the most of the containers of any size. 

Only a few of the headers became part of the final document.

Here's a link to all four books that I created at Fujitsu.

I also included an article in Emmy Awards Magazine that I wrote using this
method of work. I use this method for everything. I can't work without
professional tools. The outliner is a construction tool, not a presentation
tool.
