Do you mean "a paragraph contained in a drawing object"? Why is a separate
boolean needed for those, given that there are already ways to control whether
paragraphs should be numbered or not? (both at the paragraph level and at the
style level)  [more on this issue under B2]

OK

Surely this text must have a real style:style too (user-defined or automatic),
to define its formatting. Why isn't the list-style taken from that style, as usual?
It seems strange to me to have a specific mechanism for (lists in) a text box
when there is already a flexible mechanism for the general case...

You mention "real styles can't reference automatic styles". Yes, but how
is "this graphic style includes bullets" different from saying 
"this graphic style includes a font of size 20"?

I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler to not include anything text related in
the graphics style, and use a usual style for that instead.

OK

OK
