I think heading is better than headline - to me headline is a line at
the top of the buffer (like a newpaper headline). Note that in addition
to changes in the manual, it will probably be necessary to make changes
to variable and function names in the code. This may require marking
some old names as obsolete and creating aliases to allow a transition to
the new names and avoid breakage etc.
