If you're okay with attributes that were deprecated in HTML 4 and then un-deprecated again in HTML 5, you can specify the value attribute on your
li tag. That has the advantage of giving you a proper list style where the number is above whitespace if it spans multiple lines (without having to trust readers to properly handle negative distances in CSS), but should guarantee that no conforming renderer can screw up the numbering even if it loses track of the preceding elements. (Then again, Kindle always finds a way, so....
