Just to be sure that we are speaking about the same thing...

The issue is the "Outline Level" control in the Paragraph dialog, right?  

The control name would remain "Outline Level", no change proposed there.

The proposal is only for changing the label on the tab in the Paragraph dialog
with the Outline Level control (for the reasons enumerated in the OP).

Meanwhile -- 

When you write that "outline" refers to the whole document, I become confused,
or at least uncertain about how you are conceptualizing "outline" in relation
to the Paragraph dialog, because the tab and its control refer only indirectly
to the outline of the whole document (namely, a level within an outline), where
the dialog is to set the "level" property for the paragraph (style). 

More generally:
"Outline" is another layer of abstraction, not addressed in the Paragraph
dialog.  That is one of the reasons for Tools > Chapter Numbering, where you
can "link" a Paragraph Style with a Level (notice "Level" in the Chapter
Numbering dialog).  It is also why you cannot modify the Outline Level in
Heading 1-10 in the Paragraph Style Dialog.

(Simply describing current implementation here, no endorsement or evaluation
intended.)
