support for lists / numbering and bullets

[thz]

We want to be able to create lists (even etherpad has that feature). There are bulleted and numbered lists.

One option would be to bind that to certain paragraph styles. For example a paragraph style could be: [ ] none [x] numbered [ ] bulleted

That brings up the questions:

• is there a difference for the user between some list-items without bullet/numbering and just some paragraphs?
• would it make sense to hook the list property to paragraph styles (being a list or not)?

A follow-up question would be related to the user-expectation of what happens when the user is in an empty list with a bullet/number and hits backspace. I observed a test-user expecting the bullet/number to disappear. Would that cause the list-item transform to a paragraph?

Is there anything that can be done to get this implemented? We are trying to move away from Etherpad and this is a show-stopper.

If a document with bullet lists is imported, they can be edited and additional items can be added. So there seems to be basic support.
