Hmmm, that is no good -- lack of flexibility in so basic a
functionality. Would you consider, for example, an option to use
the "List number" styles, sacrificing some advanced features such
as continuations, e.g. --use-list-styles. After all, that is the
purpose of list styles in MS Word, and those styles are present in
the default reference document.

Sounds possible too, but harder than using the style as is.
I cannot offer a PR, and will file an issue.
