? If I file an RFE to do this, am I dumb?
Shouldn't it do this:
---8<---
<ol><li>Item 1</li></ol>
<ol><li>Item 2</li></ol>
<ol><li>Item 3</li></ol>
---8<---
? On the one hand, the blank lines imply that the writer intended the items
to appear in different lists, like your first version; but on the other hand,
HTML will do this with the separate <ol> tags, without need for any <p> tags,
as in your second version.
Although I doubt that anybody would really want to write this example,
the analogous example with <ul> is reasonably common.
