Hmm.

Does that markup solve any user problems that following traditional, markup does not?

   <ol style="list-style-type: iroha">
     <li class="list-header">Dry:
       <ol>
           <li>1c flour</li>
           <li>1/4c sugar</li>
           <li>1tsp baking soda</li>
       </ol>
     </li>
     <li class="list-header">Wet:
       <ol>
           <li>1 egg</li>
           <li>1/2c milk</li>

       </ol>
     </li>
    </ol>

A different use case in the same problem field: Often you have lists that are actually part of a paragraph, but cannot be correctly associated with the paragraph:

<p>Text before ...</p>
<p>There are lots of fruits available, e.g.:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Apples</li>
  <li>Pears</li>
</ul>
<p>More Text...</p>

More appropriate markup for this could be achieved with the LH suggestion:

<p>Text before ...</p>
<ul>
  <lh>There are lots of fruits available, e.g.:</lh>
  <li>Apples</li>
  <li>Pears</li>
</ul>
<p>More Text...</p>

Anyway I would consider it even more appropriate to allow the list inside a paragraph:

<p>Text before ...</p>
<p>There are lots of fruits available, e.g.:
  <ul>
    <li>Apples</li>
    <li>Pears</li>
  </ul>
</p>
<p>More Text...</p>

But I admit I have no idea what other problems this could cause.
