@kitchm - here is how to reproduce your case:

Make a Numbered List
  1. Put or take some lines in a document
     (can also have empty paragraphs in the list)
  2. Select all lines.
  3. Choose a numbering type  (e.g., Toggle Numbered List on toolbar)
     (expected and actual result: all lines, also empty paras get a number)

Break the List Visually
  4. Place cursor at end of line of any item in numbered list.
  5. Add one (or two) empty paragraphs, so that there becomes two lists.
     (result:  continuous numbering, but at least one unnumbered blank line 
       between the two lists). 

Renumber the "Second" List
  6. Place cursor at top of “second” list.
  7. Right-click, Bullets and Numbering > Restart numbering.
     (actual and expected result:  the second list starts at 1).

Change Numbering Type of "Second" List
  8. Choose another numbering type for the “second” list.
        Actual Result:  both lists change.

Reason:  the “second” list is still considered part of the “first list”, so
changing the numbering type for one part of the list changes the whole list (as
expected according to current design).

Same effect can be produced with a single list (and no blank lines)
1. Make a list with 6 items.
2. Restart numbering with item 4.
3. Change numbering type of item 4 (or 5, 6)
4. See whole list change to new type.

I do not see an obvious place in the documentation to mention about this
situation.  Maybe you (or others) have a suggestion?

Alternatively, maybe you want this ticket to go back to UI, with a question
about whether “breaking” a list with a blank line should also “break” the list
id for the items that follow after the blank line (would need to assign a new
list id for those items).  

iow, this is not an issue of "list style" or not, but an issue of when a
numbered list ends.

Stuart?
