Also bear in mind that the list 'container' the OL tag isn't normally
itself rendered on the screen in a visible way..  so users don't
normally interact with it.  The 'guts' of the list (<li> tags) is
where the interaction normally happens, and also what most commonly
verified or acted on in scripts.  And of course <li> tags are
supported by Watir.

The main reason you'd need <ol> support in my experience would be as
an easy way to disambiguate which <li> tag you were referring to, in a
situation where there was more than one list on the page, and no easy
way to distinguish between one set of <li> tags and another.   And
often if things are inside divs or tables or some other structure you
can use that instead to narrow down for the system which <li> tag you
need.

Not that it doesn't make sense to add in <ol> support, just that until
that happens, you may well be able to get by without having to
implement Georges 'patch' to add it in.
