For an example how to solve this take a look at http://www.regels-stadskanaal.nl It's an online archieve of the legislation of the city of Stadskanaal in the Netherlands.

As you can see i've moved the nummers of the listitems to the content of the documents.

How do people get around the problem of marking up ordered lists in
legal documents, such as policies or terms and conditions?

A typical structure might look like:

1 blah blah blah
   1.1 blah blah blah
   1.2 blah blah blah
       1.2.1 blah blah blah
       1.2.2 blah blah blah
   1.3 blah blah blah
2 blah blah blah
   2.1 blah blah blah
       2.1.1 blah blah blah*

I've seen a variety of convoluted javascript and CSS methods, but
they're all hacks for what is essentially a pretty logical
structure... nested ordered lists!

I have to admit, I haven't even checked whether this is addressed in html 5.

* BTW: I've read lots of legal documents and I reckon the text can
mostly be replaced with blah blah blah without affecting their
meaning.
