This scenario is about mixed lists - lists whose list levels have different and more complex list label formats - and about continuation of lists.

14. Insert some paragraphs in chapter 1.3)
15. Continue the list of chapter 1.2) with the inserted paragraphs
16. Save and close the document

Lists in ODF 1.2

1. Same steps as for lists in ODF 1.1
2. Add another heading on outline level 2
3. Add some paragraphs in new chapter 1.4)
4. Continue the list of chapter 1.1) with the inserted paragraphs
5. Save and close the document

Check

1. Open the created documents in other implementations
2. Check, if list labels are the same
3. Check, if continuation of lists is the same

The issue regarding “text:style-name” has been already filled to OpenOffice.org. But unfortunately, I (Oliver-Rainer Wittmann) forgot to mentioned it. The issue is http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=110694

The issue regarding “text:reference-format” is somehow a ODF specification issue. The attribute type of the referenced item - in this case the “text:name” attribute of a bookmark has to be ID, but it is String. But, the ODF Validator based on RNG reported this issue.
