3. Origin

   Due to Nested automatically numbered (0.) lists don't render more than one level deep. #184429 (comment), reported at HTML comment tags break Markdown list indentation markdown-it/markdown-it#942 (comment). Close if unnecessary to track here.

@mjbvz, probably best to close as not planned then, right?

This isn't a CommonMark or Markdown-it bug. See https://talk.commonmark.org/t/html-comment-tags-break-markdown-list-indentation/4459/2?u=vas

@vassudanagunta, that comment merely states that current CommonMark HTML comment tag support is basic. Considering the obvious formatting issues with no evident benefit to their continued existence, I have, per the instruction stated within that response, filed this as an issue at commonmark/commonmark-spec#741 (comment).
