So does that mean there isn't any point in trying to support redefining
bullet shapes on a per-paragraph basis instead of the current
document-scope? At least not in French documents anyway or is it all due
to babel?
In the docs for "Itemize Bullet Selection" in Extended I gave examples of
how to do per-paragraph changes including the use of the \renewcommand.
You seem to be saying that this wouldn't work in a non-English language
document.

Yes. The definition of the bullet shape should be done using
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand\labelitemi[0]{\(\Diamond\)}}
instead of
\renewcommand\labelitemi[0]{\(\Diamond\)}
[In fact, to be LaTeX-friendly, it'd rather be
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\(\Diamond\)}}
but I am disgressing].
It should be quite easy to change, indeed.

Nothing like that exists currently.

It would be nice indeed.
Pb with bullet shapes + some questions and/or sugestions
1) Does anybody try to use the bullet shapes popup with the language of
the
document set to frenchb?
The popup works fine but I could not force latex to use the bullet
shapes I have specified in this popup.
It seem's that the package frenchb override the bullet shapes I have
juste define in the document layout -> Bullet shapes option.
The frenchb package use always it's default bullet shapes (
\normalfont\bfseries{--})
This work great with the language of the document set to default.
Any idea?
2) Is their a way to have completion of word typed in the document like
M- / in emacs?
3) A suggestion about spelling: I think that a feature like flyspell
module in emacs which
underline miss-spelled word as you type it would be a great think.

No, it is just that this ^%#&^%$ french style redefines the items when
\begin{document} is encoutered [*]. This means that labels in the
preamble get overwritten. So anything which is done _after_
\begin{document} should be safe.

[*] No, this not is not to say that I forgot an 'n' in "encountered".
It is rather to explain that in french, we use -- rather than \bullet
to begin an enumeration.
