chaals has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/html as "technical improvement": == Type attribute for ordered lists should be obsolete but conforming == Since there is a stable property `list-style-type` in CSS with many available values, the values `1`, `a`, `A`, `i` and `I` correspondant to CSS properties `decimal`, `lower-latin` / `lower-alpha`, `upper-latin` / `upper-alpha`, `lower-roman` and `upper-roman` [should become obsolete but conforming](http://w3c.github.io/html/grouping-content.html#elementdef-ol). The `type` attribute is currently [obsolete](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/ul.html) for unordered lists. There are [more styling options](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/generate.html#list-style) for ordered lists in CSS than in HTML, such as greek alphabet or armenian numbering. Maybe more options could be added to the CSS spec (for instance, `upper-greek` is currently missing in CSS). Internationalization could be improved by providing certain language-specific CSS presets for ordered lists. Please tell me if I made any mistake, this is the first issue that I post!
