Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: If you want more elaborate list items than just numbers, that's more
a name-value pair list than a numeric ordered list. So generally I'd recommend
using <dl> for that. For example, I'd definitely say <dl> is the right way to
go for the gold/silver/bronze example.

As far as multiple list items with the same ordinal number goes, I agree that
that's a bit odd. Henri, if you think that that is something we should require,
please file a separate bug for it and I'll add it to the spec.
