Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the Help viewer (Help | Help Contents)
2. Go to Browsing the Web > Improving Speed and Efficiency > Managing Different
File Types
3. Scroll down to the list of steps that are preceded by "To remove an item from
the list:"
4. Highlight the second step. Start from the end of the sentence and drag to the
left, over the "2." (it won't get visibly selected).
5. Press ctrl+c.
6. Paste anywhere.

Actual result: "   1. Click OK or Cancel in response to the warning dialog." is
pasted.

Expected result: should be "2."
the actual list marker number would not be preserved in that manner, when you 
paste, you are pasting the ol and just one li -- which would result in a 
numbering scheme of 1., you would need to go to the list properties sheet to 
alter the number.

What if you are pasting into plain text? Then you would expect to see "2."
yes, plaintext would be different. I just sat with Akkana and the plaintext
paste of a numbered list item is not getting interpretted correctly. It is
pasted into plaintext as an unordered list item.

Assigning to Anthony, cc Akkana and mozilla@bucksch.org

We think that the context info includes the fact that it's in an ol rather than
a ul, because pasting into an html editor preserves it as an ol.  But when it's
serialized to plaintext, the context information is being lost (conjecture).

and everything, even nesting.

I'm only using build ID: 2001082303 but when I copy a list item and paste it
into notepad it is always numbered "1." instead of the actual number displayed.
