This is an interesting matter.
We can change our handling of lists in this way: switching on numbering/bullets
assigns one of two selected styles. The problem starts if one of the list is
edited directly by using "Format-Numbering and bullets". As list attributes are
assigned to a paragraph as a unit we can't use these list styles as e.g. a
paragraph style where changing a single attribute directly still lets the
paragraph inherit all other attributes from the style. In a list style changing
a single attribute will completely cut the connection to the list style.
So if we implemented the RFE the following will happen for the case where the
same list style is applied to two different lists:
(1) Changing the style will change both lists
(2) Directly changing the attributes of one list will leave the other one
untouched
(3) Changing the style after changing one attribute of one list will influence
only the list that still is not changed but will not influence the list that has
the changed attribute (even if this one is not the same as the one we changed in
the style).
So here the styles approach can't deliver what it promises.
In case (3) is considered to be bearable we could go for this RFE. If not we
have to reconsider this issue when the current changes for ODF 1.2 will be
implemented. They BTW are a necessary precondition for this RFE because they
bring a separation between lists and list (auto) styles that currently more or
less are the same, simply spoken.
