I believe that I have a pretty good idea of what label appears in what
menu/toolbar, etc. -- but there is another issue -- about functionality -- that
needs to be addressed -- before possible labelling changes.

But first a clarification is needed. You seem to confirm the objection in
comment 2, point 2a.

That is, you are indicating that, at present, .uno:OutlineBullet (which is at
the top of the Text context submenu for Bullets and Numbering) is modifying
List Styles themselves (if the cursor is on a list item with a List Style).

But notice ... in that situation...when the dialog box is opened, there is no
"Organizer" tab.  In other words, there is no way that a person would know that
they are modifying a List Style (or even which List Style).

Meanwhile, in contrast, when a List Style is opened from the Sidebar, there is
an organizer tab, and the dialog box says "List Style".  This does not seem
possible at present from the context menu -- which is the initial point of 2a.  

So:  (a) there is no point in renaming the current .uno:OutlineBullet because
         it operates both on DF lists and List Styles.
and  (b) it seems like a bad thing that the Bullets and Numbering dialog is 
         modifying the List Style.  

As a perfect analogy, it would be like using the Paragraph dialog to modify a
paragraph and have the changes registered for the Paragraph Style.  That is
what is happening now for List.
