I still have troubles to understand reasoning behing this change. What would be
meaning of <ol> acting as an item of list? If the meaning is that such <ol> is
list item then why not to surround it by <li> and have clean content model for
lists? If you are worried about additional bullet displayed in browser, then
solution is to disable such bullet in stylesheet.
