I'd vote for:

I think the specs should not have deprecated the attribute - breaking
up huge lists into separate pages is entirely legit, which means the
numbering is an important part of the

There's also the idea that legal documents are often split into sections
which continue numbering but are infact separate documents (addendums,
etc...) .
At the moment, legal docs can't be semantically marked-up (at least in OZ)
because:

Javascript is out, as our internal NLA standards try to avoid where
possible. Value attribute falls into the same category as the start
attribute...
Yes, theoretically you can do things with the counter in CSS, but to
actually do anything meaningful, CSS would really need to be a f

I agree with Bert - use the start attribute and a transitional dtd. It's

Of course you could always write out the first 39 empty list-items and hide
them :)
