The example you gave worksforme (Trac 0.11rc1).

Hm, maybe I'm spoiled by MediaWiki (Wikipedia), but do you really
have to enter ordered lists in such a complicated way? In MediaWiki,
to create an ordered list, you'd type:

# First entry
# Another one
## Sub entry for another one

And this would be displayed as:

   1. First entry
   2. Another one
         1. Sub entry for another one

In Trac, you really have to do it in such a complicated way as

 1. First entry
 1. First entry
   1. Sub entry for another one

To be honest, I didn't try that before I posted, because it looked
to be too "hard" (in comparison to what I'm used to from MediaWiki).

After having actually tested what's written there, I can,
of course :), confirm, that it works. And I also see an
advantage in the Trac syntax compared to the MediaWiki
syntax: In Trac, it's pretty easy to have ordered lists, which
use a different "list-style-type", like alphabetical or lower-roman.
In MW, you have to resort to HTML to get that.

Uhh, its the same syntax, we just use something more human-readable. You are welcome to implement an IWikiSyntaxProvider plugin to add that syntax if you like it though :-)
