That's my very impression too. The guide is clear in what it states,
but the styles obfuscate the message.

Not exactly, they differ in the first line indent setting. Numbering 1
looks like (except for the numbering itself):

1.  blah blah blah         <--- first line
     blah blah blah         <--- following lines

Instead Numbering 1 Cont looks like:

     blah blah blah         <--- first line
     blah blah blah         <--- following lines

So, regarding the indentation, the implication seems to be:

Numbering 1 Start
(Numbering 1
 Numbering 1 Cont * ) *
.
.
.
Numbering 1 End
