4.4.5 The ol element

The type attribute seems to be a presentational device that ought to be
replaced by CSS, especially given that all major browsers support the styles
described when they are specified by use of list-style-type (see
http://www.w3.org/International/tests/repository/css3-counter-styles/predefined-styles/results-cstyles#simplenumeric
for the roman styles). If it is truly presentational, perhaps we should
deprecate it.

Or is this intentionally kept as a way to allow a minimal set of 'semantically'
differentiated lists, that will work if CSS is not present? If so, perhaps we
should add a brief note to explain that, and mention that you can do much more
using CSS.
