How far a bare numbered item may jump ahead of the highest question number seen
before it is treated as prose rather than as the next question.
Question lists advance by one. They do occasionally skip — a Berlin answer heads
a section "Zu 2. und 5. (siehe Ihre Nummerierung)" because the asker's own
numbering skipped — so a small gap is allowed. A large one is not a question at
all: a Schleswig-Holstein answer contains the line "101. Arbeits- und
Sozialministerkonferenz", wrapped from the sentence above it, and reading that as
question 101 makes a four-question document look like a misnumbered hundred-question one.
