Aww..that is disappointing.  I was sure that at least you would like the idea
of removing the offer to apply DF numbering to Heading N paragraphs in an
outline bar.

No problem. See comment 3  ("neutral about name change"). 
I appreciate that there is much confusion/debate about this terminology -- and
I am not trying to participate in that discussion -- or to promote particular
terminology.

But I needed to use some words to communicate about the functionality. Sorry if
my "lay" terms were a source of distress. But today you have given some
technical definitions, which are fine with me -- so from bug 141452 comment
#24:
>* Heading is a paragraph having an outline level other than "Text Body".
That was also my understanding. And that was also my intended meaning of
"heading" here. Concretely, whenever the cursor is in a paragraph with outline
level other than Text Body, then a special toolbar (not Bullets and Numbering)
should appear.

But after some experiments and reflection, I now see/believe that it only makes
sense for a context-sensitive toolbar to appear when the cursor is placed in a
Heading N PS paragraph – for the primary reason that it is not possible to
change the outline level of Heading paragraphs that are non-Heading N (using
toolbar/menu commands). (which by luck was also the OP).

With that additional condition (only show context-sensitive toolbar for Heading
N PS), then it makes a lot of sense to call a context-sensitive toolbar for
“Outline” (which is also the name that the Organizer uses to show “List Style”
for Heading N PS).
