Hi Jere,

here is how to do this, but it is not creating links to that
anchor automatically.  You have to make these explicitly,
like [[#anchor2][A link to item 3]]

* This is the first header line

  1. This is line number 1
  2. This is line number 2
  3. This is line number 3
     #+HTML:<a name='anchor2'>
  4. This should be line number 4, but is reset by the anchor tag
  5. This should be line number 5.
