    Is it? Not all paragraphs and headers are numbered... 
    That's what's potentially confusing here - the attribute alone doesn't say whether
    the paragraph is numbered, this also comes from the list style.
    The attribute really means "is-not-numbered-although-the-list-style-says-it-should-be" :)
    
    If we want to keep the semantic of "list header" then maybe it should be named
    "text:is-list-header" (default value "false" of course). It's less obvious from the name
    what it means visually, but it's more consistent with <text:list-header>.
    
    Just some thoughts, no real objection.
