I tend to agree -- but I'm not a native english speaker and I'm not
sure what feels more natural. So I followed the text.texi manual in
Emacs (see doc/emacs/text.texi) and I see that Outline mode is used
with no hyphen, even when used as an adjective.
Anyway, we can still improve this later on.
Thanks,
