I understand we're not allowed to have more than one numbered list per
subclause, because a reference like "Item (3) in the list in 16.2" is
ambiguous.

Assuming we can legally use paragraph numbers, and assuming a list is
part of a paragraph, not that each item is a separate paragraph, does
that mean we can legally have more than one numbered list in a subclause?

Assuming the notation for a paragraph is subclause#/paragraph#, and
that we continue to use (item#) for item references, [406:16] would be
16.2/2(3), which is unambiguous.
