Maybe more options could be added to the CSS spec (for instance, `upper-greek` is currently missing in CSS). Internationalization could be improved by providing certain language-specific CSS presets for ordered lists.\r\n\r\nPlease tell me if I made any mistake, this is the first issue that I post!\r\n\r\nCheers,\r\nRebeca Ruiz"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/w3c/html/issues/comments/221542085","html_url":"https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/341#issuecomment-221542085","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/w3c/html/issues/341","id":221542085,"user":{"login":"prlbr","id":11777434,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11777434?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr","html_url":"https://github.com/prlbr","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/prlbr/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-25T11:08:45Z","updated_at":"2016-05-25T11:08:45Z","body":"How about adding more options to the type attribute to cover non-western enumeration? Like the current ones, they could be mapped to CSS properties in CSS supporting user agents, so implementation should be really simple for those agents. In user agents that don’t support CSS, an enhanced type attribute would bring the attribute’s benefits to those that don’t use western enumeration symbols.\r\n\r\nSuperficially this might seem redundant, but CSS is about (presentational) styles, and list numbering is not always just that, as demonstrated by referencing items by their “number” from within the text. For example, Wikipedia uses lists for footnotes.\r\n\r\nHere’s another example: The following page contains the first few sections of Germany’s animal protection law and uses lists: http://www.uni-mainz.de/FB/Medizin/nc-patho/tiersch/01_03.htm\r\nWhen a law has been passed by the parliament, it’s not a question of design anymore whether something is codified as “§ 2, Abs. **3**” or “§ 2, Abs. **c**”. The correct symbols are part of the legally binding text that is referenced in thousands of documents by various authors."}}
