OK. They want our numbered list to be base-1, first item being
labeled with "1.", not "0.". I think the majority of readers would
prefer that way while reading the source text (I thought markdown
formatters would renumber them anyway, but I probably am mistaken
here, like in many other things). Curious that we have "." after
these numbers, though.
