A week or so ago I asked a similar question about the HTML export and lists.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg01324.html
So I just wanted to toss in my 2ยข.

I think this argument makes sense; and to be honest, that's probably how I
want the exporter to behave most of the time.
However, there is particular use case where I find this frustrating, which is
writing problem sets. There I like to reference other parts of the problems by
name. For example,
a) Do something.
b) Use your answer in part a) to do something else.
Then, if I want to export it to multiple formats (say, html and pdf), there is
no general way to tell orgmode: "my alphabetical bullet choice was meaningful,
please try to preserve it". One ends up inserting little workarounds for each
export format. Which is not a big deal, but when everything else works so
seamlessly it's these little things that stand out :)
Best,
Josiah
