Well, the goal is (of course) to present to the user what's on the screen. And what's visually on the screen looks like "1. item content here". The fact that this appearance was achieved by rendering magic other than the addition of an actual space character is, as far as the end user is concerned, irrelevant. Thus I'm afraid we do need the space added.
