Thanks for taking the time to do that but since I'm not using xhtml 1.0
strict I actually wasn't having a problem. I was merely noting, for the
sake of those looking at strict, the depreciation of an ol attribute
"start" that seemed to have as much to do with document structure as
presentation.

...and looking at the how of doing that; <ol start="4">
I came up with something. While it's not perfect, it works.
li{
margin : 1em 0 0 2em;
padding : 0;
}
li.header {
position : relative;
margin-top : 2em;
}
li h3 {
font-size : 100%;
position : absolute;
top : -1.5em;
left : -2em;
margin : 0;
}
<ol>
<li class="header"><h3>one</h3>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
<li>d</li>
<li>e</li>
<li class="header"><h3>six</h3>f</li>
<li>g</li>
<li>h</li>
<li class="header"><h3>nine</h3>i</li>
</ol>
Of course, a <span> could be used instead of the <h3>.
