Hi, Can someone explain why this incredibly useful attribute: ol li value=40/li is deprecated, or is it? C On Nov 23, 2005, at 3:44 PM, Geoff Pack wrote: Paul Noone wrote: Also, and I'll probably get lynched for this but the following should also work in a transiational doctype.

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: 1. any electonic version of a legal document MUST
