This is not a solution. It is an abuse of the style system.

It requires a proliferation of list styles for every combination of meaningful
list type crossed with every character style whose formatting bleeds over. It
requires all such styles to be manually kept in sync should their properties
need to be changed. It requires a different style to be used for different
items of the same list, and for these to be changed when the content changes.
In short, it completely defeats the use of styles.

The problems go far beyond the example in this bug. For serious documents,
extensive character formatting is basically unusable at present.

It also defeats the use of manual formatting, since redundant character and
list styles must be created for every instance.

Finally, it is unreasonable to expect novice users to be have to do this,
whether they use styles or manually formatting.
