Notice that "List 4" is referenced both by the text:unordered-list and by the "P1" paragraph style. What if "P1" referenced a different list style? How would I be required to interpret this?
As far as I understand the OO file format, the closest style is that one that overrides the furthest, so the style named in <text:p> is the one that would be used.
If the style for every paragraph specifies P1, then the style associated with the overall list won't be used at all - is this correct, Daniel/Michael?
Since the paragraph style already contains the list style information, from a rendering standpoint in this example the text:unordered-list is completely redundant and the text:list-item is simply defining a list level. List level could be easily done with an attribute (which could default to 1) producing the following alternative XML.
<text:p text:style-name="P1">One</text:p> <text:p text:style-name="P1">Two</text:p> <text:p text:style-name="P1">Three</text:p>
This all seems like a lot of extra syntax just so HTML generation can eaisly produce <OL> and <LI> tags.
Not only HTML. Any kind of format that needs structure: XSL, Docbook, ... Formats that don't need structure can easily get rid of it, that's easier than figuring out the structure from a non-structured file - although, well, that's what word processors have to do when saving, though (figuring out the beginning and end of each list).
Anyway a conclusion of "it's extra syntax, but it's doable and equivalent" (which I agree with), doesn't have the same consequences as a conclusion of "this loses information". That would indeed be a very big problem, but I think we established now that there is no information loss, right?
