Because OOo tends to generate something very un-html-like:
<text:list text:style-name="L1">
<text:list-item>
<text:p text:style-name="P2">eins</text:p>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
<text:list text:style-name="L2">
<text:list-item>
<text:list>
<text:list-item>
<text:p text:style-name="P3">zwei</text:p>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
<text:list text:style-name="L3">
<text:list-item>
<text:list>
<text:list-item>
<text:list>
<text:list-item>
<text:p text:style-name="P4">drei</text:p>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
In HTML this would actually nest the lists, instead of starting them from scratch (from the top level) every time.
Something like
<text:list text:style-name="L1">
<text:list-item>
<text:p text:style-name="P2">eins</text:p>
<text:list-item>
<text:p text:style-name="P3">zwei</text:p>
etc.
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
</text:list-item>
</text:list>
But due to some difference in the list style [which includes the definitions for 10 levels!!!!]
it can't use the same toplevel list, so it starts a new one every time.
I'm still quite unhappy about the design for lists in OpenDocument, it doesn't seem sound to me.
I would understand if a list style defined one level, but not 10.
The above XML is from simply changing indents on bullet points in ooimpress, nothing fancy.
