   Perhaps it might be wise for me to remove the “-” (count-down list) paragraph type altogether. It was only in there for symmetry with “+” (count-up list). Who really uses that anyway?

Since the count-up list can take an optional index number, a count-down list could still be written manually as:
+3 foo
+2 bar
+1 zot
which results in:
  1. foo
  2. bar
  3. zot

Um... how is typing +X any easier than just typing X. anyway? I guess that’s just a cool thing to do for the sake of a cool thing to do. :-)

LOL, no... +X is what you’d have to write if you wanted to cajole a count-up list + into counting downward. If you just want a count-up list, you can use + without the X number, like this:
+ foo
+ bar
+ zot
which results in:
  1. foo
  2. bar
  3. zot
