True.

LIST is not the way to go.  Rather, put this at the top of your
file:

.am HEADING
. nr para 0 1
. nr head +1
..
.am PP
  \\n[head].\\n+[para].\ \"
..

Assuming '.HEADING_STYLE 1 NUMBER', normal usage of

.HEADING 1 <heading>
.PP
<text>
.PP
<text>

will give you paragraphs numbered as per your example.

Note that this is a quick and dirty solution.  It works correctly only for
first-level headings.
