These styles make up the set of paragraph styles for ordered and 
unordered lists that date way back to version 1.x, but which never were 
really explained much outside of the OOo/LO user guides. Also, the 
factory-default formatting for these styles is not in general agreement 
throughout the Ns (worse in OOo than in LO). They appear to be much 
unlike the human appendix--somewhat useless in its original form but 
which can be made useful.

I assume that the N was originally meant to refer to the level of 
nesting of lists, which itself would almost always use indentation. 
Because their factory-default formatting is somewhat inconsistent, their 
parameters should be reformatted by the users (or template designers) in 
order to be made to work better .
