In brief, the way OOo handles the text:outline-level attribute in the
OpenDocument format contradicts the spec.

* If an OpenDocument text file contains several headers with the same
text:outline-level but belonging to different named styles, (re)generating a
table of contents from the outline fails as follows: OOo seems to pick the first
named style it encounters for each outline-level and uses only that style for
that outline level, ignoring all other headers with the same outline-level but
different named styles.

This contradicts §4.1.1 and §7.3.1 of the OASIS OpenDocument spec v1.1 as I 
read it.

* Worse, if the document is saved, the specified outline-level attributes are
lost except for those which actually made it into the TOC.

NOTE: I have described this bug as a defect in handling the OpenDocument format.
 But it can also be seen as a defect in the OOo UI itself: it is clear from the
table of contents dialog's "create from outline" that several styles cannot
simultaneously make it to the same outline level.  However, as such, this bug
can be worked around: use "additional styles" instead.  But this workaround does
not help when reading a conforming OpenDocument file, and it causes its own
problems (such as issue 3356 - which is probably related to this one, but
different).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Open <URL: http://www.madore.org/~david/.misc/OdfTOCTest.odt
> (which was generated directly in XML) in OOo writer.  Right click on table of
contents and choose "Update Index/Table".  Only the "Table of Contents" header
itself appears, whereas the "Foobar" and "Bazqux" headers should also appear.

Bug seems to be present in OOo 3.0 snapshots.
