Couldn't one just wrap enough list environments around such a skipped
level to unskip it? I know that that could be done in LaTeX easily
enough; does it not work for markup such as XML [about which I know
little]?  

If it doesn't work, one could simply unskip the level: make any
forward skip a single skip. But I suppose that is just "you can't skip
level's" by another name.
