Sheesh. I stared at this for a bit, thinkking, "But that's the 
same thing!" My eyes kept sliding right past the item numbers, 
here and in the post.

GitHub got the item numbers right in the gist we used for 
editing, though the formatting of the extra paragraphs wrong. It 
was multimarkdown that goofed it. WP does support Markdown for 
posting, but I've been unable to enable it on this installation, 
so I run everything through multimarkdown first.
