Depends what you want. Are you suggesting that this should produce:

| 
| <orderedlist id="list1">
1|   <listitem>...</listitem>
2|   <listitem>...</listitem>
3|   <listitem>...</listitem>
4|   <listitem>...</listitem>
5|   <listitem>
|     <para>
|       Some comments
|       <orderedlist id="list2" continuation="continues">
6|         <listitem>...</listitem>
7|         <listitem>...</listitem>
|       </orderedlist>
|     </para>
|   </listitem>
6|   <listitem>...</listitem>
| </orderedlist>

That would seem, um, odd.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
