Hi Cameron,
I just tried that link I posted and it goes to all the threads so you would've had a hard job getting to it. The "answer" is further in that post:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------
3. The CSS way to accomplish the same things as the old `start` and `value` tag attributes is to use the CSS properties `counter-reset` and `counter-increment`.
4. But `counter-reset` and `counter-increment` aren't supported by any browsers other than Opera. I mean, jesus, it's one thing if IE doesn't support something, but when neither [Mozilla] [2] nor [Safari] [3] support it either, it's pretty much unusable.

The relevant discusssion in...

... is "Starting ordered lists at numbers other than 1" by the "Daring Fireball" John Gruber.

I ran into this same problem the other, but forgot to research it.
How, then, are we meant to start an ordered list at a number other than 1?
