Speaking from Calligra, the successor of KOffice, I can say that we still write 
out text:numbered-paragraph but only if we loaded it

We have no way to create such things from scratch anymore, and I suspect it 
would be possible to convert numbered paragraphs to normal lists during load. 
As such I can support a deprecation, but I would need some time to actually 
make sure we don't write it out anymore.
