Prefix/suffix with bullets - and constant strings in lists

[David Faure <faure@kde.org>]

The ODF specification, in "14.10.3 Bullet Level Style", says:

The attributes style:num-format-prefix and style:num-format-suffix specified in section 12.2 can be used to add characters before or behind the bullet character.

First problem: the attribute names are wrong, this references style:num-prefix and style:num-suffix in the schema.
Second problem: this allows people to use a prefix and a suffix for a bullet... is this really intentional? OOo doesn't seem to support it so it's surprising to see this in the specification.

The somewhat related feature is: how to have a constant string used as a prefix before a paragraph, as in
  Answer: Yes
where "Answer:" is like a bullet or numbering: non-modifiable, and coming from the numbering style.
There are strange ways of doing it, like a custom bullet set to ":", and a prefix of "Answer", assuming the applications
supported prefixes before bullets like the specification says, but this is still a strange way of doing it.
Instead it would probably be better to have real support for this. MSWord supports it via the
number format string; when that string doesn't contain the number, the number style switches
to (none). I know that Florian was/is working on supporting all numbering formats from MSWord,
does that include such "fixed strings without numbering"?
