I am answering this one and included 4.3 in the subject line since it 
got posted twice.

Yes.

;-)

Sorry, could not resist!

14.10 List Style makes it clear that there are separate style elements 
for numbers, bullets and images for lists.

Do note that the list in 4.3 is a list using informal names and not 
element or attribute names specified by ODF 1.0.

The reason I mention that is there really is a "numbered bullet" style. 
You have probably seen it, it is a solid circle with a number, usually 
in a different color or in outline in the center of the "bullet." Not 
one of the high points in typography in my opinion. ;-)

Just my opinion but I would suspect that it would be specified as a 
number style since the number should increment. But you could 
legitimately call it a numbered bullet.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
