I found the following text in ODF 1.2 CD03 in 18.876.7:
"The text:style-name attribute specifies a style that must have the 
family paragraph."
The text that You are referencing is the general one regarding 
text:style-name.

I think that these things are already stated in the specification:
A1 is given in 4.3.4 of ODF 1.2 CD03 - <text:h> is a possible child 
element of <text:list-item>.
A2 is given in 4.3.6 of ODF 1.2 CD03 - <text:h> is a possible child 
element of <text:numbered-paragraph>.
A3 is given in 15.15 of ODF 1.2 CD03.

That a list label is a number is given by the corresponding list level 
properties of a list level style.

Best regards, Oliver.
