On further research I find that MS Word suffers from the same problem, but
manages a work around by allowing the user to select a paragraph symbol, and
then hide it. See, http://www.k-state.edu/grad/etdr/word/APAheadings.html. 
That is not possible in LO.

While one could provide extensions that tagged and generated material for LO
(as Zotero does for Bibliographies for example), why abandon what LO already
does to build something to parrot what LO already accomplishes. While this
might make some sense in the Google Doc environment (where Google termination
of the ability to add styles has resulted in apps that provide that service)
where Google apps is now specifically designed without internal extensibility,
it makes no sense where, as in the case of LO, the extensibility is already not
only built in, but the user is provided tools to extend and modify. 

LO already has the built-in ability to generate tables.  ToC is a subset of the
general ability that by default uses certain outline paragraph styles.
Unfortunately, the ToC also excludes the ability to include character styles
for someone reason I have yet to discover. If LO did allow the inclusion of
Character formats in ToCs,  it would resolve all formatting problems where a
Heading was part of the paragraph (as one sees in the APA style for headings.

So, a) we are not talking about providing 8000 paragraph formats; we are
talking about allowing the user to include as a ToC Heading a style other than
a paragraph style; b) it makes no sense to try to build extensions along the
line of zotero to do what LO already does; c) the solution I suggest would
allow the greatest flexibility for the user to accomplish his aims with the
least effort.

Any reason not to simply use Zotero or Mendeley to handle this facet of
authoring documents best left to extensions?

With some 8,000 current styles defined in CSL [1] its a fools errand to try to
provide paragraph formatting for any individual "standard", be it CMOS, APA,
MLA, IEEE, etc.

Rather, it makes far more sense to validate the work being done on integrating
these extensions and ensure that LibreOffice responds correctly with style
formatting applied from the CSL.

Discussion in the user forum brought this to my attention:

An innovative and intriguing effort to accomplish something that should not be
so difficult.
