But then what would someone do in order to begin a list but not end it? For
instance, if they wanted to say:
"10. Blah
9. Blah
8. Blah
And so forth..."
I guess I'm asking, why recommend artificial and unnecessarily narrow

So default would logically be for the numbering to end at 1. Thus, the code
< ol reverse>
< li>Red
< li>Orange
< li>Yellow
< li>Green

< /ol>
would display as:
5. Red
4. Orange
3. Yellow
2. Green
1. Blue
