[Mediawiki-l] Whitespace and numbered lists

[MHart]

I created an extension for a site that allowed for better spacing between 
list elements without breaking the list. Just add a div with spacing 
information inline with the list element, something like:

# Ordered list item<extraspacing>10</extraspacing>

where 10 is the px for the extra spacing. You can also do indented notes and 
other cool stuff within ordered list, including tables, without breaking the 
numbering.

Alternately, MediaWiki support the HTML ol start=whatever tag if you want to 
manually fix the numbering:

# Item 1
# Item 2
Extra spacing

<ol start=3><li>Item 3
<li>Item 4

breaks wiki formatting, though - which is why I choose extensions.
