Not completely correct I think. Cross references has selections from 
Headings (includes headings not in Outline numbering) and numbered 
paragraphs (includes paragraphs not in outline numbering).
I agree with the navigator and table of contents. What I am not sure of 
is the inter-reaction of the position and spacing or number and 
character style settings in Outline Numbering and those in paragraph and 
numbered list settings.
