The reason is because it's ambiguous. Assume this is acceptable::
1. first line
second line
Then what do we do in these cases? ::
2. first line
second line
3. first line
second line
At what point does the paragraph become a definition list?
Indentation is significant in reStructuredText, so there is a
near-zero-tolerance policy for ambiguity.

If alignment is your concern, I would suggest this, which is perfectly
valid::
9. start with plenty
of indentation
10. so that when the
number of digits
grows, there's
986. enough space for all!
