It's my opinion (but based on understanding of the inner mechanics). That's why
I don't mark it WONTFIX or the like: I only express my ideas, and try to
provide rationale for those.

> If it's the former, then I don't agree with this identification;

Let me repeat my question again (after I provided some rationale): what is the
intended *use case* for what you propose; what *real-life problem* should if
solve. For now, what you suggest only tries to solve some (possible)
terminological confusion, and tries to do that in such a way to introduce much
greater confusion. Unless the list of Heading paragraphs could serve some
special purpose other than represent what LibreOffice uses for some functions -
it is absolutely useless; and for now, LibreOffice only uses outline level of
paragraphs to e.g. create ToC. It does *not* use Heading N styles in any
special way, so what would the list of those styles (and not others!) in
Navigator provide to user?

Maybe - and I suppose that *others* would disagree to you here, for the same
reasons they had when renamed Outline Numbering to Chapter Numbering ... :-)
