Jay's toolbar concept with list widget

I like the preliminary toolbar concept and it is not revolutionary because it
presents more or less the Styles menu as toolbar buttons (which were selected
due to high frequency of use from users, I assume ;-).

What's missing is list styles which are not possible to insert as toolbar
buttons now.

The following ideas are an enhancement for a style-focused formatting toolbar.
It it's worth I could create a new bug for it (or a bug for every widget?).

I attached an enhanced concept with a list widget similar to the already
existing Bulleted list widget or Numbered list widget or Outline list widget.
The entries should show the list styles available in the Styles and Formatting
sidebar panel. At the bottom new list styles can created or existing one edited
(maybe that can also be achieved with a right-click context menu but in now
existing list widgets there is also an edit line in the bottom of the entries).

The same widget system can be used for table, frame and page styles to save
vertical space and to give a preview to the user how it will it look like
(similar to Word 2013 widgets for inserting Shapes, Header, Text fields, etc.).
They are not so frequently used therefore they don't need a single click
button.

Also the same widget system can be used for indent paragraph styles to pool
styles like First line indent, hanging indent, Marginalia and Text body indent.

One other important point is localization - most languages need more space than
English, therefore we can't fill the whole toolbar with text buttons.

IMO this all is so basic stuff that all the ideas could be included in the
Notebookbar too.
How it's possible to make a Notebookbar style-focused formatting tab?
