Why would it be mandatory? That would be a problem with old documents that
don't have it.
Having a series of numbered paragraphs using the same list style can easily be
implied to be part of the same list.
So, a numbered paragraph that does not have a list-id gets the list-id of the
last numbered-paragraph on that same level using the same style. If the
previous has a different style, then a new list is started.

We should specify it indeed. How did my above parag sound?

fine.

Sounds good.
