It sounds as if your current algorithm is "find the last preceding list element, and use the number of listitems it has as the base count for this (continuing) list". But once you've found that preceding list element , can't you just walk up its ancestors as long as they are lists, until you have to stop (perhaps a short trip), and then do the count? It also sounds as if one really should have, in a continuation list, some indication of which list it is continuing; semantic error in DocBook? Page 345 of your book on DocBook says: "Continues indicates that numbering should begin where the preceding list left off." I see some ambiguity as to what "preceding list" really means...
