But the construction used in mdwlists, with
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\suspend{enumerate}
\regular text
\resume{enumerate}
\item
\end{enumerate}
looks also not failsave and might lead to hard to find LaTeX errors.
Also, it requires a "backtracking" whether an enumeration will be resumed or
not.
Using LaTeX logic without "backtracking" is possible if for all
enumeration levels a "backup counter" (like lastenumi ... lastenumiv)
stores the last value of the relevant counter at *every* \end{enumeration}.
Alternatively, the reset of the counter at \begin{enumeration} could be
made optional.
However, in any case the LyX-Gui should show the correct numbers to give
feedback.
