I came across an odd behavior while using org-mode to create some web pages
where list numbers get reset if you insert anchor tags.  Consider the
following example document:

* This is the first header line

  1. This is line number 1
  2. This is line number 2
  3. This is line number 3
#<<Anchor1>>
  1. This should be line number 4, but is reset by the anchor tag
  2. This should be line number 5.

* This is the second header line

  1. This is line number 1
  2. This is line number 2
  3. This is line number 3
#+BEGIN_HTML
<a name='anchor2'>
#+END_HTML
  1. This stays line number 4
  2. This stays line number 5

The numbers associated with the list items are the numbers created as new
items are added automatically with ALT-ENTER.  After the #<<Anchor1>> entry
and the #+END_HTML, doing the Alt-Enter starts the list number back at 1.
However, when this is exported to HTML, something else occurs.  In the case
of the #<<Anchor1>> entry, the HTML also restarts the list number, whereas
with the #+BEGIN_HTML it does not.  The generated HTML looks like the
below.  Notice in the first section the <ol> tag is closed and the anchor is
wrapped with paragraph tags, then <ol> reopens, so there is a space as well
as re-starting number, but in the second case the anchor tag is inline.
Further down is the actual generated HTML text.

Shouldn't #<<anchor>> tags be treated in the same way as
BEGIN_HTML/END_HTML?

Table of Contents

   - 1 This is the first header line <file:///tmp/burl31927GCc.html#sec-1>
   - 2 This is the second header line <file:///tmp/burl31927GCc.html#sec-2>

  1 This is the first header line

   1. This is line number 1
   2. This is line number 2
   3. This is line number 3

   1. This should be line number 4, but is reset by the anchor tag
   2. This should be line number 5.

  2 This is the second header line

   1. This is line number 1
   2. This is line number 2
   3. This is line number 3
   4. This stays line number 4
   5. This stays line number 5

<div id="outline-container-1" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-1"><span class="section-number-2">1</span> This is the first
header line </h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">

<p><a name="Anchor1" id="Anchor1"></a>
