This is a good point - but this calls for something else: A mechanism to name
a particular list item and refer to it by name. In LaTeX you can put a \label
into an ordered list item and refer to it with \ref. I am not sure if the new
exporter allows this for list items, but I do not thing so. Nicolas, has this
ever been considered? I don't remember.
This would be useful.
Or, make sure you use a LaTeX stype or HTML style file that uses a specific
labeling system.
