Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-10-19 23:00:44 UTC 
It's not misspelt; it's the "element that is being outlined", i.e. the outlinee.

If you have a better suggestion I'm eager to use it instead, since people keep getting confused by this.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-01-30 20:34:06 UTC 
Went with "outline target".
Comment 3 contributor 2013-01-30 20:35:17 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7671.
Check-in comment: Try renaming 'outlinee' to 'outline target' to see if it makes more sense to people.
