Please say some more about why.

After more reflection and analysis...

I am inclined to drop Proposal 1 (because there may be adequate UI solutions),
but continue to promote Proposal 2, now elaborated as follows:

1. If the cursor is on a paragraph that has a List Style, then the text context
menu should:
    a. only show "Edit Style" which opens the the current List Style dialog,  
       which is templatedialog16.ui (i.e., with Organizer tab), on top 
       of the current B&N dialog (bulletsandnumbering.ui)
    b. the "Bullets and Numbering" command should not be shown in this case.

2. If the cursor is on a DF list para or non-list para, show B&N command, but
not Edit Style command.

Reason:  The dynamic context menu "protects" and "informs" the user by only
offering the List Style command/dialog when the para has a list style.  

The B&N dialog would still be able to modify a list style, if the cursor was on
a list style item, but at least the context menu would not offer the
possibility. An additional improvement would be to disable .uno:OutlineBullet
in these cases, but until then I assume that Style users are less likely to go
to the Format menu or Formatting toolbar to use B&N command, when they know
they have a list style. (protection by obscurity).
