The main things that OpenDocument has and AbiWord don't:

1- Bullet lists where the bullet itself is an arbitrary image.

2- Bullet lists where the bullet itself is an arbitrary character.
        *On AbiWord you have only fixed types of bullets

The other things are due to different concepts on how lists show be done
and due to the very nature of the document/file format itself.

If you guys alow me, I would be happy to sniff around on how to
implement the second item.
