    Subject: outline-level for heading styles : missing?


    In an OO document, "Heading 3" is the style used for text:h of level 3,
    but when simply reading the styles information from the document (not the text),
    how does one find out that "Heading 3" is
    1) a heading style
    2) the heading style for level 3
    ?
    Is this only incurred from the name?
    
    
    <text:h text:style-name="Heading 3" text:level="3" >Heading</text:h>
    is clear when parsing a given header. But I'm talking about the parsing of
    the (user-visible) styles themselves, so none of the <text:h> information is available.
    
    To ask the question otherwise, how does OO know that when the user selects
    "Heading 3", this should create a <text:h> and not a <text:p>, given that nothing
    in the definition "Heading 3" marks it as a heading?
    
    My proposal: add a text:outline-level="3" attribute to <style:style> for heading styles,
    and (as a comment) make it mandatory that this attribute is written out for heading styles.
