>Bullets are one kind of list styles. So if we rename "Bullets and Numbering"
>it has to be "List Style".
1. "List Style"  is unfortunate choice in relation to "Toggle Numbered List"
(F12) and "Toggle Bulleted List" (Shift-F12) (which are not Styles)

"Lists" seems better  (but will require some evaluation of consequences in
Format menu)

2. Use "List Style" (never with adjectives) consistently in UI, tooltips,
documentation, when referring to List styles.      

Reason:  A list style can have any kind of mixture of number, bullet, graphic.
The "name" of a list style is "conventional", UI does not need to get involved
in those personal choices.  There is just "list style".

3. Use adjectives for direct formatted lists.  

Reason:  Gives a clear, simple linguistic marker to distinguish
direct-formatted lists from list styles.  

At present there is:  Numbered List, Bulleted List
There could, in principle, be "Lettered List", etc.

4. Do not use phrase "numbering style" (in UI, tooltips, documentation).  There
is List Style, Paragraph Style, etc., no "numbering style".

If necessary, refer to different types of numbered lists, or "numbering types" 

5.  Adjustment to IIa. (in comment 0)  Change "Numbering" label to "Numbered"
or "Ordered" (because there are letters) in Format - List (Bullets and
Numbering) - Numbered (Numbering)  

("Enumerated" as label seems too obscure.)

6.  Also need to evaluate where in source code "numbering style" appears, and
whether change to "list style" is appropriate (because sometimes numbering
style is used for 1.2.3. vs. 1)2)3))  (i.e., need to evaluate each case, not
just "search-replace")
