```{org}

- 11. 09. meeting

```

removes even more:

```{native}

[BulletList [[OrderedList (1,DefaultStyle,DefaultDelim) [[OrderedList (1,DefaultStyle,DefaultDelim) [[Plain [Str "meeting"]]]]]]]]

```

Meaning removes all numbers, whitespace, periods until alphabetic letters.

Markdown conversion acts a little differently -- anything that seems as a start of ordered list is interpreted as such:

```{md}

- 11. 09. meeting

```

produces:

```{native}

[BulletList [[OrderedList (11,Decimal,Period) [[OrderedList (9,Decimal,Period) [[Plain [Str "meeting"]]]]]]]]

```

and

```{md}

- 11. and 12. 09. meeting

```

produces:

```{native}

[BulletList [[OrderedList (11,Decimal,Period) [[Plain [Str "and",Space,Str "12.",Space,Str "09.",Space,Str "meeting"]]]]]]

```

I guess that pandoc is making a pretty sensible assumption that all those numbers ending with period are starting new ordered list from different number than 1. But that breaks when using dates in start of a bullet list item.

As far as I know pandoc doesnt have a "date" element, and I also think it doesnt need one.

As proposed solution I think that another check in readers should be made that all text after bullet mark should be considered regular text, until a linebreak; or 2 linebreaks with text starting in column 2 (for items spanning more than one paragraph).

I have hit upon this when converting Org mode to docx, in where the first number is actually left off totally, so:

```{org}

- 11. and 12. 09. meeting

```

results in:

```{docx}

- and 12. 09. meeting

```

Which in my opinion is bug in all instances. If it would render ordered list in bullet list (as it should with):

```{native}

[BulletList [[OrderedList (11,Decimal,Period) [[Plain [Str "and",Space,Str "12.",Space,Str "09.",Space,Str "meeting"]]]]]]

```

it would be easier to notice, at least.

Can this corner case be resolved better? Should I make this a github issue?
