A 'misthink' on my behalf here.. I was thinking about this:

	Markup:				Renders as:
	# An item			1. An item
	:: Text				     Text
	# Another item			1. Another item

however, when I played around on this page:
	http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki?pagename=Test.MixedLists

I noticed that this actually works:

	# An item			1. An item
	::: Text				 Text
	# Another item			2. Another item

Although it's a bit annoying that 'Text' ends up so far to the right, see 
the list examples further down on that page.

Hmm... I wonder if the current markup isn't better in that sense... for 
some reason I thought that this mixed thing would help the other stuff, 
but now I can't see what I was thinking.
