Ordered lists are--so far--the only thing that really does break the
linear line-by-line processing approach. If they are sacrificed to the
gods of a cleaner spec, I for one wouldn't cry too much. Unordered lists
that support reflow is the more important bit. One could always cheat
and just use unordered lists and start each one with a number:

* 1) item one!
* 2) A really long item two that will be wonderfully reflowed on small
screens by our awesome client writers.
** 2a) I'm lookin' at you, Michael!
** 2b) And the rest of you too. ;)

Saves us a bit o' logic. Keeps everything line based. You could run a
stateless renderer on a stream now and it wouldn't choke.
