Markdown doesn’t support such lists, so it’s more a matter of an overly permissive interpreter (or even specification) that accepts the code without complaint.
Somehow this reply didn’t create a new/unseen reply notification for me (with the black bell), instead there is an already-seen reply notification on the top of the list of recent notifications. I vaguely recall already having seen this bug in another Shortform reply, though I’d expect that this can’t matter. So I probably got confused by clearing notifications about the other thread I got replies from at about the same time.
Bug report: the “Some remarks” section of this post has a nested enumerated list. When I open the post in the editor, it displays as
1. [text]
> a. [text]
> b. [text]
> c. [text]
2. [text]
(where the >’s represent indentation). But the published version of the post displays this as
1. [text]
> 1. [text]
> 2. [text]
> 3. [text]
2. [text]
This isn’t a huge deal, but it’s a bit annoying since I later refer to the things I say in the nested list as e.g. “remark 1(c).”
There is, by coincidence, a recent PR to fix this.

Sam’s talking about the rich text editor.
