Mike, I don't think the current version of HPR supports nested order lists 
as you suggest.  However, order lists are supported by reading the number 
[or order]. 

Try HPR with the order list on 
http://www-306.ibm.com/able/guidelines/web/webmarkup.html. 

Also, I demonstrated at CSUN , HPR based technology that did in fact 
indicate the nesting of ordered and unordered list.  The next release of 
HPR has not been announced yet nor has it been announced that there will 
be a next release.  But we did show some of the new technologies that are 
based on HPR as an indication of what IBM was working on.
