--- Comment #3 from Owen Genat <owen.ge...@gmail.com> ---
Joel, I can understand the issues, but they do not seem simple to me (or
related) and the terminology can easily become confused.

Method 1 is essentially about increasing the number of outline levels from 10
to something greater. My reading of ODF v1.2 Part 1 indicates there is no
specified maximum number of outline levels, so it is likely an implementation
limit. There are however several different types of outline, ignoring for a
moment the heading vs list issue. Each time one of these lists is modified
(e.g., before/after mark is changed, either via direct formatting or a style) a
completely new set of N (currently 10) definition entries is created. In your
sample file there are six such sets of (list) definitions.

A second aspect to increasing the number of levels is that currently (on an A4
page) the existing 10 levels, using default settings, cover about half the
page. This leaves half a page for the points to wrap in. Less than half a page
for text to wrap in results in a fairly ugly layout. Cosmetic I know, but still
a related consideration. I suppose 12 or 15 levels could be handy, but it may
mean having to change the entire outline numbering for headings as well.
Possibly a big change for a small inconvenience.

Method 2 exhibits a problem with using TAB to manually set level. This can be
demonstrated by clicking the Numbering On toolbar button, TAB, and then
SHIFT+TAB repeatedly to force the list item into the left margin. The TAB
method to change list levels certainly has issues and this one is probably
covered (generally) by bug 49856.

Note that this is all in relation to levels and not indents (Increase/Decrease
toolbar buttons) which are separate matter again.
