141925_emptyParaTocEntriesB.odt: a counter-example
Insert a TOC in this document, and it will simulate what could happen to
documents if OP's suggestion is followed.
There are some compatibility issues at stake here as well.
My take on the issue is that you design your documents based on what the
program provides. Rarely would chapter numbering be so fluid that it requires
numbering to handle it. Rarely are empty numberings deployed. (In fact,
pressing "Enter" after one of these REMOVES it.)
Based on the difficulty in actually implementing empty-paragraph-numbering,
update-TOC compatibility concerns, and a potential argument from the opposite
side, I suggest WONTFIX.</pre>
