Yikes! That sounds like a *large* amount of hassle ;-)

Especially when taking user-agent text scaling into account - ouch!

Hmm, I think I would prefer that the markup is structured more like the
layout, to reflect the relationship between the list-item and the para.
Applying your approach to my morning example [MORN], and reading in in a
non-css user agent would give a totally different text:
----------8<-----------
This morning I went through my usual waking up routine:
1) Get out of bed.
2) Clean up in the bathroom.
3) Put on some clothes.
4) Check the post.
5) Eat some breakfast.
At this point I was interupted by a stray cat wandering in to my room,
sniffing at things, then leaving. Without any reason not to, I carried on my
routine...
How exciting am I!

Nice idea though - thanks,
Dave.
