Hi thanks for markdownlint...I really like it!

What do you think about modifying the MD029/ol-prefix: Ordered list item prefix rule (and/or MD005/list-indent) to allow numeric list markers to align vertically on their decimal position? This, in my opinion, improves readability when viewing the markdown as plain text.

Attached are some examples. I tried creating a custom rule by starting out with the built-in rule but I get I'm not sure how to include shared.js.

This seems reasonable and is allowed by the CommonMark specification. I'll give this a try in the next round of updates, thanks!

Regarding custom rules, shared.js is not required. You can see simple examples here: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/doc/CustomRules.md

Thanks! awesome.

I'll look at the examples a little closer...for some reason I was thinking I needed to be able to call flattenLists().

flattenLists is convenient, but not necessary. Or you could duplicate it. Some of the helper methods were weird enough that I did not want to make them a supported public API.
