As it should - there IS a difference...
Lists serve one purpose - the outline view of a document is another.
HOWEVER, I agree that many people use the outliner as a list
manager and NOT as a true outline view of a complex document (because
Word's implementation of that isn't very good).

Yes, quite!!

And will you also handle style management as well? For
example, when in outline view, when you indent a Heading 1, it
becomes Heading 2 (etc.).
