The lack of start='' would make the numbers update as the list is
filled with <li>s. This allows both for simplicitly for short lists
and correct incremental rendering for large lists.
No, the lack of an explicit start attribute would make it start from
the default value: 1. It would then count down from there:
1. A
0. B
-1. C
-2. D
which suggests a pair of orthogonal attributes, as above, the
direction ('order'='increasing' or 'decreasing'??) and the initial
ordinal value (which should be a number, even if the styling asks for
e.g. alphabetic labelling).
