I have an AsciiDoc document I'm trying to publish using asciidoctor-epub3.  I've converted the document to use the "spine" layout described in the manual, but can't seem to get numbered lists that depend on start= to work.  Here is an example piece of code:

.Section 1
. Here is the text for Exercise 1.
. Just a paragraph.

.Section 2
[start=3]
. This would be 3.

It works as expected (first item in Section 2 is number 3) with asciidoctor, but with asciidoctor-epub3, the item numbering starts over with 1.
