personally, i don't fully agree...
i see the outline tool as a quite low level tool.

as i wrote in a previous mail, my opinion is that the outline tool gives a view on the document which is quite near to the file's xml structure and few users should have to use it.
don't take me wrong: it's a powerful tool and it should be in scribus! but most users should be able to do all their work without even knowing that it exists! scribus should let you work in a visual way! (this item is on the left of that one, on top of it, it has a red border ... that kind of view!)

personally, i'm for calling it "file structure" to stress the fact that it's an alternative view to edit/view the .sla with a text editor...

i fear that as soon as the styles can be used to structure the document (headings) and that sections get more powerful, "document structure" will be, again, misleading.
