Ehh; depth is an option available to all the numbering styles. Only the 
ones that don't use something that can count are not allowed to use depth.
Do you propose to add a depth to a numbering style like a bullet?

In KWord the Chapter style numberings are used for the TOC, I agree that a 
better approuch would be to allow some kind of grouping of numbering types 
(chapter/listA/figures/tables etc) with one default type used for TOC entries.
Probably add the option to add personal types for that document.
This then replaces the Chapter/List selection at the top of the dialog.

IIRC this has been discussed about a year ago allready; but it seems nobody put
the time to it to actually fix it like that..

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
