Hi Michael,

Look at it that way. The user experience will change, 'cause the encoding (structue) of the list will change.

So at minimum the user will have a different dialogs with different settings.

Sorry, but I cannot remember to have said this. What I can remember is 
that I have said that the current ODF specification does not specify how 
numbered paragraphs can be combined to lists (which for me personally 
means that all numbered paragraphs form a single list), and that lists 
do not have a feature to specify an individual list style for a single item.

I cannot remember to ever have concluded one of these two things.

Sorry, but I still do nut understand that. The initial list and the 
resulting list have the same structure, only the style assignments are 
different.
