The ODF markup that causes the Auto-Indent

Thank you for the side-by-side comparison of the before-and-after with regard
to the setting of auto-indent when the character set is Asian and not Japanese
or Korean (assuming the various Chinese sets are the only other ones).

The image is of the content.xml file, abbreviated enough just to show the
essential information.  

Notice that the user has somehow selected the paragraph style to have
auto-indent.  That is not the Standard style default.

This is a preferable technique because it takes into account the font size. 
Other methods are more brittle since the user would have to set a specific size
although em units, if allowed, would make it easier.

I agree that it is better not to expect so much expertise from the user in
order to obtain what is commonly-expected in the user's community.

If there is confidence that the ScriptType::ASIAN set only includes CJK, then
the patch is fine.

I think there are two remaining questions:

 1. This will change the behavior with respect to existing Chinese Language
documents.  What gives us confidence that this will not be disruptive in the
presentation of legacy document?

 2. Because this will impact interoperability in the interchange of ODF
documents, we also need to coordinate with LibreOffice.  (I already confirmed
that Microsoft Office Word 2013 does not recognize auto-indentation in ODF
documents and has no equivalent feature, unless it is language-pack dependent.
