The HTML spec authors have admitted that they believe this particular
change was a mistake on their behalf.

All browsers support the value attribute on <ol> <li>s, and there are
numerous real world use-cases for allowing continuations of ordered
lists.

I for one, would like to see markdown support...

1. ordered
2. lists

that interrupt and then continue

3. like
4. this


Basic support for implied <ol type=""> attributes would also be nice...

A. like
B. this
C. where the third item refers to list-item "A" above
   (which becomes non-sensial if the browser renders
   the list as 1. 2. 3...)

or

i. like
ii. this
iii. as well


...although I realise that over-zealous auto-detection algorithms
would cause problems with sencences/lines starting with an abbrivated
proper name like this:

A. Lincoln was an US president, and Lyndon
B. Johnson was another.
