I think this is a nice idea -- two points:
1. It could break any existing list items where the list item begins
with a digit (I don't know how big a deal this actually is)
2. Would authors then expect to be able to do things such as ##A, ##a,
##I, ##i for alphabetic and roman numeral numbering? If so, this
would compound the problem of the above point. (Or is it
sufficient to simply say that one uses "##3 %roman%" to get "iii."?)
