No, I was thinking that modes like this would just put a text property
like `outline-heading' (or even just `heading') on the heading, and then
outline-minor-mode would use that.

I.e., we make modes that generate buffers provide semantics for the data
it's inserted, and then outline-minor-mode reacts to those semantics.
