Huh. One would think UA's should ignore negative start values in non-numerical cases. For that matter, *any *ordered list type ought to ignore *all *inapplicable start values. Perhaps that ought to be specified in the recommendation? > It was pointed out to me that the start='' attribute (and the > corresponding DOM attribute) currently defaults to 1.

Very easily: if start is not specified if not reverse start = 1 else start = number of items * step - Jason
