Sure, I answered my own question after further looking around (the ordered
list may have a continuation attribute).  

Now I wonder, because I was inclined to think what I wanted was an element
rather than an attribute, whether such an attribute is appropriate.  
Structurally, the initial portion of an ordered list that is continued is
distinct from an ordered list that is not continued; yet the syntax
doesn't differentiate.  This is why I expected an element, and didn't even
think to look for an attribute.
