Clarification on Home headline

Wholeheartedly agree with this. My concern is based on mapping 
outlines graphically. Sometimes branching off one central "Home" is 
not what I want to get across and after many years as an Inspiration 
user this has been annoying especially going back and forth between 
the outline and the "map." I had often wished for the ability to get 
a number (not many!) topics at the top or root level (depending on 
your point of view).
