Yes, that would make sense.

The group of attributes is optional. This means that if you specify 
text:continue-numbering, you also need to provide text:start-value and 
text:style-name. If a numbered paragraph is not a continuation, the value can 
be derived from the preceding paragraph.

So the error message is correct given this schema, but the text:continue-
numbering should indeed be optional in the schema.
