A quick peek at the related help shows it can be used to throw e.g. some
awk or perl at the problem. That could accept "12. ", while rejecting
"2003. ", by imposing a numeric maximum. But what then when the list
goes to "7. ", and there is "5. " in the text, unfortunately wrapped, so
that it appears at the start of the line? Now neither strings nor
numbers resolve the ambiguity - in any language.

If the "1. " style were unavoidably mandated, one way to wriggle around
the problem would be to use e.g. "1* " while editing, then have a global
substitution mapped to some ^- or <Leader>- combined keystroke, so it
could easily be converted after editing.
