Interesting questions -- however, I'm leaving tomorrow for a week's
holiday. So I won't get to this for awhile.
I should also say: This is the first time I've needed the ODT exporter for
anything serious. So, I shouldn't be taken as any sort of authority on how
the styles "should" work. I'm reporting behavior that seemed odd to me and,
to the extent that I have time, I don't mind prowling around in the ODT
data structures to see what is going on inside. That's about the extent of
what I can do. I'm not affiliated with LibreOffice in any way... In fact, I
quite dread using it. TBH I prefer exporting to LaTeX, but it's a
humanities journal and they don't understand about superior technology :D
That said, I'm not sure why those cases would be challenging. In the normal
list item case, you have a list item node enclosing one or more paragraph
nodes. In the cases you mentioned, the list item node would contain a quote
block or centered block node. As I understand the exporter, the depth-first
traversal would encode the child nodes normally, and pass the encoded
result up to the list item parent. My observation of LO is that it tries to
merge properties from the list style and paragraph style, which it would do
if it's centered, block quote or whatever. So my guess is, do nothing
special for these cases. But that's a guess.
