I haven't gotten around to recheck all the list paragraphs styles yet
for v. 3.5.x--easy to do, using the factory-default parameters. However,
the older OOo styles (v. 3.3.x) did not have consistent formatting for
all the Ns, in addition to OOo's having buggy styles that could not
properly be reformatted outside of a narrow indentation range for many Ns.
IMO, all those list paragraph styles need to be reformatted, according
to the intended purposes for them by users or template designers, anyway.

Gary has clarified the issue. Perhaps the styles should all be
indented the same by default and just control the interline spacing
and things like that.
Another related issue is the purpose of the "List N" vs "List N Cont"
paragraph styles. From the indentation in the styles one can infer
what follows:
| aditional space here
First item<--- Start style
Internal item<--- base style
Continuation of internal item<--- Cont style
Last item<--- End style
| aditional space here
That cont seems to be intended to follow the base style is suggested
by the default indentation of the manually formatted lists. For
example:
2. Iternal item
More text
Continuation of item 2
The indentation provided by the Cont style is exactly the indentation
needed by "Continuation of item 2" in a manually formatted list in
order to be left aligned with the item text. But this seems misleading
again, because the guide explains that Start will be usually linked to
Cont which will be linked to End, for lists where a single style (the
base style) isn't enough. Briefly, the alternative interpretations
are:
Start->base(->Cont)->End
vs
Start->Cont->End or base (for simple formatting requirements)
I'll copy the relevant passages of the documentation for this last
issue asap, but you can see that the problem is essentially the same:
default style indentation that seems to be at odds with the usage
described by the guide, maybe because of historical reasons.
Thanks a lot
