Hi Pierre-Henri,

Each list environment (e.g. enumerate) comes with two variants
enumerate* and enumerate-continued.  For the moment, they are not
exposed in the interface though.  For the next release, I added
a style package prefix-enumerate with a global setting to make
what you want the default.

Best wishes, --Joris
