That's why I'm so fond of Markdown implementations that support inline attribute lists (IALs) or similar, since all you need to do arbitrary styling on the CSS layer is a hook. kramdown [1], my favorite, borrowed IALs from Maruku [2] to nice effect. I don't use inline attributes often, but they're a lifesaver in certain spots. But because of my recent addiction to hyde [3] I find myself using python-markdown a lot, so either write one-off post-processing instructions to insert a hook or rely on `markdown="1"`. (BTW, python-markdown honors `markdown="1"`, but doesn't strip the attribute from output -- though post-processing fixes this, too.) IMO, any elegant facility for specifying arbitrary attributes inline solves not only the list-numbering problem but a raft of others.
