Currently, I don't exactly know, what the two proposed axioms mean. 
Equivalence of the two ODF structures?
If yes, I also currently don't know, how these axioms provide more 
insight into how numbering works in ODF 1.1.
Looking at your document, my interpretation of the the purpose of the 
two given axioms seems be to define somehow a conversion algorithm 
between lists specified by <text:list> to lists specified by 
<text:numbered-paragraph> and vice versa. This algorithm has been 
already posted by me in January - see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200701/msg00044.html

I've already posted 4 weeks ago my view on ODF lists as a basis for 
discussion. Please see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200702/msg00046.html and the 
following thread. The results of this discussion are included in the 
proposal about text:list-id and text:style-overide - see
