Why do we want #2?  I have to think that is such an infrequent need 
that it's better to avoid it.  I can always use HTML for that entry.  
Plus, counting spaces seems like a non-intuitive way to go.

If you really want #2, what about this;

#. A one-item list.

Can't imagine any reason for typing that except to create a list.
