[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 104206] Allow Paragraph Styles to bind to List Styles' levels, like with Outline Numbering

Thank you for considerations!

You are absolutely right.
However, I hope, and my vision is, that my proposal can be implemented without
modifying the ODF standard at all.

I must say that I see this as UI-only concept. From the user PoV, the binding
between a paragraph style and a list style is what program does when user sets
the style or changes list level. I suppose that the bond may be defined in ODF
by using application-specific extended tags in corresponding styles, and then
modifying the app behavior in relevant places. The ODF output should stay
unmodified (modulo the extended style properties to keep the bond between
sessions).

So, the output file should have normal list and outline structure, so it will
be open with any previous version, or with other ODF viewer, without problems;
the only missing thing in those older/alien versions will be the bond loss and,
thus, need to make all style-to-level adjustments manually.

It would be an honor for me. I may only hope that I can succeed in this.
