Not necessarily. Take the following example (with 4 spaces before item "two"):

-  one
    2. two

With the exception of Maruku (which falls flat on it's face here),
every implementation consistently renders this:

<ul>
<li>one <ol>
<li>two</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>

While I hate to deflate any argument against option B, the fact is,
there doesn't have to be any "implied 3rd item in the surrounding
unordered list". However, without the indentation, I don't think it's
clear to the casual reader that that should be a nested ordered list -
which I've already discussed in my previous comment.
