Subject: Numbered list syntax?

Hello,

I am looking at the source and see that enumerated lists are defined by:

  1.  Hello
  2.  Goodbye

i.e. a two spaces, a number, a period, two spaces, text.

Why was it decided to use that syntax instead of the common # syntax? This 
means that if I have a list of ten things and want to add in an item after 
position 4, I have to reorder the entire list.

In the fossil docs for the rationale of the wiki markup, I read: "The wiki 
markup used by fossil, though limited, is common to most other wiki engines, is 
intuitive, and is sufficient for 90% of all formatting tasks." I've used a lot 
of wiki's and have not seen the numbered list syntax of above and it does not 
seem intuitive either.

I made the change to fossil to support

  #  Hello
  #  Goodbye

can I commit the change drh? The 

  1.  Hello
  2.  Goodbye

syntax is intact and unchanged.

Jeremy
