Oliver is the experienced developer and should say, what to do with this patch.

My opinion on it is this: The patch cannot be used in this form, because:
- it is based on a version of OOo, likely around 2009. In the meantime some files were moved, e.g. from svx to cui
- it has not a patch form
- there exist no explanation what defect/feature the patch tries to solve and how it is done 
- it has author remarks, but we have agreed not to use such
- it has a unclear license

Thank you Regina.

In the former days (before OpenOffice founds its new home at Apache) I already started to work on the integration of this work together with jade_gong.
We had created a corresponding CWS, but due to the changing time in April 2011 this work was not finished.

It is a feature that had been introduced in ODF 1.2 and it will also improve the interoperability with Microsoft Word documents. An corresponding specification document also exists - http://www.openoffice.org/specs/writer/numbering/ListLevel.odt

Let us keep this issue open, may be someone (or myself) finds the time to introduce the feature based on the patch.

I am volunteering to support the work on this issue, if someone picks it up.

Sorry, this issue was in unconfirmed status and I didn't know developers may work on issues which are not confirmed.
Thank you Oliver.

No problem. You just noticed that the status of this issue was not correct.
