I noticed that when one clicks on a "Table of Contents" command inset,
the Outline with the "Table of Contents" opens. So, I guess that
connection is not ideal either currently because not only TOC entries
are shown.
A few remarks from someone who uses the outline pane heavily to contend
with a particularly large and complicated document: please note that
many approaches to using the Outline pane exist. I use the "TOC"
entries; however, I heavily use the figure, table, citations,
cross-reference, marginal notes, and equation drop-down-based views
also. Accordingly, I recommend not getting too fixated on the
terminology in one of many cases.
So, do you mean that the other entries in the outline have also
terminological or other problems? If it is other problems, then I just
want to point out that terminology problems are (at least in principle)
very easy to fix and hence might be worthwhile.
