Requirements regarding ODF lists from Oliver

[Oliver-Rainer Wittmann - Software Engineer - Sun Microsystems<Oliver-Rainer.Wittmann@Sun.COM>]

Hi,

here are my requirements regarding ODF lists:

My requirement are:
(1) To specify, whose list items, which is defined by using 
<text:numbered-paragraph>, form a list and that this list defines the 
counter domain for these list items.

(2) To specify, which list style is applied to a list item, which is 
defined by using <text:numbered-paragraph>, if no list style is given at 
such a list item.

(3) To allow a certain list item of a <text:list> contruct to override 
the list style, which is given at the list respectively sub list.

(4) To clarify, that each top-most <text:list> construct denotes a list 
and that this constructs defines the counter domain its list items and 
sub lists.

(5) To clarify, that each sub list of a <text:list> construct restarts 
the counter for the corresponding list level.

(6) To clarify, that each sub list of a <text:list> construct can 
provide by its list style a start value for counter for the 
corresponding list level.

(7) To clarify, that the complete list style of a sub list of a 
<text:list> contruct are used to lay out its list items.

(8) To allow, that a list, which is defined by using <text:list>, can 
continue the numbering of any preceding list, which is defined by using 
<text:list>, regardless of the used list styles.

(9) To clarify, that a list level definitions of a list style doesn't 
have to be complete. E.g. a list style can only contain list level 
definitions for list level 2 and 3.

(10) To clarify, which list level definition for a certain list level is 
applied to a list item, if this list level definition is missing in the 
list style, which is applied to this list item.

(11) To assure, that a list, which is defined by <text:list> can be 
converted to a list using <text:numbered-paragraph> and that a list, 
which is defined by <text:numbered-paragraph> can be converted to a list 
using <text:list>. The constraints, which have to be hold by these 
conversions are:
- No lost of a list item, its position in the list and its list level.
- If list style information is given, each list item has to apply the 
same list style as in the source list construct.


Regards, Oliver.
