Hi Juri,

I think you should promote your list entries with checkboxes to full
headlines that support tags.  You can switch back and forth between
lists and headlines by selecting the text and using C-c * on the region.

I would suggest you change from 

,----
| ** 1. [ ] Text for first item
| ** 2. [ ] Text for second item
`----

to

,----
| * Top level headline [/] [%]                    :sometags:
| ** TODO Text for first item
| ** TODO Text for second item
`----

that way when you mark the TODO items DONE (equivalent to checking the
checkboxes) the cookies [/] and [%] update with the number of complete
and total items for the subheadings.

HTH,
Bernt
