The mentioned place is exactly the separate "block" dedicated for use in
styles, when one wants to define it finely. No other *additional* place for the
same is needed.

No, that would make it very difficult for unexperienced user to control their
lists. See below.

There's no "no formatting" in LibreOffice. *Every* piece of text has *some*
formatting: some font, some size, some color - even if it's some "default". The
hierarchy of the formatting for list is "take from paragraph if no formatting
is set at list level". And "None" means "no character formatting is defined at
this level", not "no formatting at all" - because of meaninglessness of the
latter.

And setting it to some style makes it fixed, which means that when user selects
a text with a list, and changes a font, they would *also* need to modify the
list settings. That is not easy for most.
