Please note that you try to force some *dictionary* meaning of terms into
Writer. This is wrong.

Outline, chapter, and heading are OK to (and *must*) have *special* and
specific meaning in Writer. When you write "Most documents people write don't
have Chapters anyway" (and the like), you are completely away from the problem
of correct use of specific Writer term, confusing different entities (and
making a potential fix much harder).

So:
* Heading is a paragraph having an outline level other than "Text Body".
* Chapter is a part of text starting from a heading with outline level 1, and
up to the next heading with outline level 1.
* Outline is a concept of paragraphs having the associated levels, creating
corresponding structure.

Having some styles with word "heading" in them is just fine, and simply must be
accompanied with word "style" ("paragraph style") each time, like in "Heading 1
paragraph style".

Trying to make it more complex, by mixing with so insanely complex matter as
human language is (aggravated by translations, which multiply the associated
meanings) is a mistake.
