The user should be able to specify the type of numbering format that would be associated with each hierarchical level in, for example, a nested series of ordered lists. An example of this functionality is to be found in Word-Perfect, which allows the user to specify the numbering style for each outline level: (arabic numbers, Roman numerals, uppercase or lowercase letters, decimals such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc.). Given the limited length of the braille line, it would be helpful if such formatting techniques were available in CSS, since they could then be used instead of relying only upon indentation to distinguish different levels in the hierarchy.
