Amount of effort is a matter of taste. I count 8 .ui files, and 4 string files,
where the only change is to find "outline" and replace with "heading" - often
in only a few places in each file. iow, seems manageable (to me), plus I am
willing to do the work - if the idea seems worthwhile.  Therefore, the
discussion can be considered solely in terms of the "value of the change",
rather than a tradeoff between "value of change" vs "amount of work".

And list attributes are just some assembly code. Point is that levels of
abstraction are often used to refer to objects, so that persons do not need to
know lower levels of implementation details. 

Benefit is that, at least in English, authors think of headings as headings,
not as list attributes. Also, LO uses the word "Heading" for the default PS
used in Chapter Numbering. So "heading level" can be understood as an attribute
assigned to a PS (which is often named  "Heading" or if a custom PS is made, it
is thought about as a "heading").  The connection between "heading level" and a
heading PS seems more immediate and obvious than the connection between
"outline level" and a heading PS.
