Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The example is actually entirely as intended currently.

There are three examples with the same list. One in the <ol> section, where the
order _does_ matter, because the order is the order in which I lived in those
countries. Then there are two examples in the <ul> section, where the order is
incidental, but showing that the lists are still ordered — the first example is
alphabetical, and the second example has the countries listed by their net
worth in 2007 (their "account balance"). In the two <ul> cases, the order
doesn't really matter, but they are still ordered. That is the point that this
example is trying to make.

Does that make more sense? I don't really know how to make it clearer in the
spec.
