1. The Transitional doctypes for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 support
the `start` attribute for `<ol>`, and a `value` attribute for
`<li>`.
2. The W3C deprecated both of these attributes; thus they're
invalid in the Strict doctypes for HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0.
Now I'm not using XHTML higher than 1.0 Transitional but I thought this was noteworthy ...if it is correct. For any of you using XHTML 1.0 Strict and up, it is possibly something that may influence your decision making.
*Sigh* I'm not willing to give up on using XHTML Strict for all my new webwork, but the I do miss being able to renumber lists. I was banging my head against it this past week and ended up using a series of unordered lists in which each item contained its item number:
<h3>First Section</h3>
<ul>
<li>1. Blah</li>
<li>2. Blah</li>
<li>3. Blah</li>
</ul> <h3>Second Section</h3>
<ul>
<li>4. Blah</li>
<li>5. Blah</li>
</ul>Embarrassing, but functional.
