It depends on whom you are asking. :-) I know that several people consider the unification of EditEngine and Outliner to be a good idea. But I also know that this is not true for only having one text engine based on Writer. But we digress. >> For the time being we might discuss the UX related questions, soIwould >> prefer to keep this discussion on the UX list.

It seems that this wasn't so clear at least in former times, otherwise I wonder why people had taken the burdon to derive the Outliner from EditEngine instead of implementing bullet support directly in it. Anyway, it should be discussed on the UX list at least to get an impression for its importance. And we must have a look on compatibility issues: new functionality in newer OOo versions won't be handled properly by older versions. So again this is a UX aspect of the problem.
