Subject: Use case query regarding numbered paragraphs


I am still far behind the discussion in regard to numbered paragraphs
and lists and given my weak technical background I always will be. :-)
So this question is just to make sure a particular use case is
accounted for in the schema proposals. I raise it because I have seen
statements indicating a relationship between lists and numbered
paragraphs.

One fairly common use case for numbered paragraphs is that they be
interspersed by non-numbered paragraphs. For example, state courts in
Oregon expect paragraphs in formal legal pleadings to be formatted as
follows:

>>>

              <center>4.</center>

     Plaintiff John Jones is a competent adult domiciled within

Lane County at Springfield, Oregon.

              <center5.</center>
     Etc.

<<<

That is, the paragraph number is centered on a line by itself above
its associated text.

My question is whether there is anything about the current paragraph
numbering scheme that is inconsistent with that use case.

Best regards,

Marbux
