I don't think this is a good idea. It handles pretty basic use cases poorly, and advanced ones not at all. I suggest burning tables directly into the gemtext.

As for ordered lists. I just use this:

• 1. some text for item 1
• 2. some text for item 2

It works with all clients, avoids needing syntax to define using numbers vs letters vs whatever. avoids syntax for (re)starting an ordered list at a number besides 1. In a lot of ways this is like "burning" a table into gemtext. You are burning the order into the list

Clients can be smart and detect this pattern if they want, and display it as an ordered list, just like some clients like Lagrange detect emojis as the first character of a link and render that in a special way.
