Replace "The text:continue-numbering attribute specifies the numbering of a preceding list." by "The text:continue-numbering attribute specifies, if the numbering of the preceding list is continued or not. This attribute is ignored, if attribute text:continue-list [reference to corresponding chapter] is present." [Note: See accepted ODF 1.2 proposal http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23418/07-04-05-proposal-lists.odt] Remove text "If the value of the attribute is true and the numbering style of the preceding list is the same as the current list, the number of the first list item in the current list is the number of the last item in the preceding list incremented by one.", because it is redundant to the corresponding bullet item. Change order of the bullet items - first "true: ...", then "false: ..." Replace bullet item text "true: if the numbering style of the preceding list is the same as the current list, the number of the first list item in the current list is the number of the last item in the preceding list incremented by one." by "true: if text:continue-list attribute is not present and the numbering style of the preceding list is the same as the current list, the number of the first list item in the current list is the number of the last item in the preceding list incremented by one." Replace bullet item text "false: if the numbering style of the preceding list is the same as the current list, the number of the first list item in the current list is not the number of the last item in the preceding list incremented by one." by "false: if text:continue-list attribute is not present, the numbering of the preceding list is not continued."
