The attached document shows how you can attach custom styles to
standalone paragraphs and the paragraph within lists.  You can export
with and without ATTR_ODT lines and see whether it offers what you want.

The changes are available from my git repository at 

Web URL:  http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-kjn.git
Pull URL: http://repo.or.cz/r/org-mode/org-kjn.git

Note that the above URL is my own repository and not the official
Orgmode's.

I am CCing Nicolas.  Just in case...
