Re: how to display the NEWS file

   Hmm, what do you think about using `*', `**', `***', etc. in the
   document itself, but Emacs displays asterisks as `+' if the outline is
   hidden, and as `-' if it is expanded.  Then we would have a treelike
   structure as available in other applications too:

If your change is supposed to apply to Outline mode in general, then
you run into the difficulty that Outline mode does not necessarily use
*'s to recognize heading lines, although the NEWS does.  And it would
be further abuse of the display property.
