Correct.

Correct. The style:family should be "paragraph".

Yes, the paragraph also changes its list level from 1 to 3.

Good question. When this scenario occurs, the priority of user changing the list level of the paragraph directly is higher than the priority of list level property in the paragraph style applied to the paragraph. So, in this case, although the list level property of paragraph style is 1, the paragraph list level will be 3. But if another style that has different list level property e.g. 4 is applied to the same paragraph, the paragraph list level is overwritten, and becomes to 4. Maybe I need to state this applying sequence in the proposal.

Thanks for reminder. We've investigated the style:default-outline-level before submitting the proposal. I totally agree that the style:default-outline-level is only used to set the initial value of the paragraph property text:outline-level for <text:h> element, and mainly for TOC features. But the proposed paragraph style property "list level" can be applied to any paragraph <text:p>. For example, with this list level property, we can define some numbering list styles, and then apply these numbering list styles to the specific paragraphs.
